Thanks for the help guys! I'm looking at all the options now.... Some reason I can't see putting a fresh set of snails on a tired-*** 65K motor... Looks like I might go all out this time....

I think its blow by. I'm fixing to make a pretty descriptive post, you might know all this but I'm sure

someone doesnt.



There are 2 nipples on your pri turbos intake pipe and one of them is the crank case vent. It

goes from the oil filler neck over to that pri turbos intake pipe. You get blow by from that, it goes

into your turbo and thats how you get oil in the IC pipes. That same oil could go into the pri turbo

like usual but come out the pressure nipples that those lines attach to right there at the top corner

of the pri turbo. At that point you'd fill up those lines with oil



So, now I'm wondering why you have SOOO much blow by??? Did you over fill your oil by chance?



You could try running that ccv hose to a can and see how much oil it catches to make sure thats the problem.

Course it might not catch much cause it oil build up could have taken years if you havent ever removed those

lines.



Anyway, thats just my .02

Stephen,



Thanks for the reply... I'm not really sure why I would get so much blow by... Didn't over fill, I do know that. I had driven the car about 150 miles on a fresh oil change (Mobil 1 10W30 synth) when this happened. I had driven it the day prior... to finding this mess... But did nothing to cause it that I know of. Just started it and voila! Who knows... The cars all apart now... I figured it was the turbos at first, so went ahead and yanked them... They looked fine, so I started on the motor... Guess I'll just replace it all... Don't have the time to **** around tearing it all to the bone to find the real problem. Guess I'll have all new toys to play with...
