I'm assuming oil in my IC is a bad thing...

while taking the alternator off, I have to take an IC pipe off too so's I can actually pull the sucker out...

that's when I saw the oil! dun duh dun!

reckon it's getting on time to rebuild the motor on the bird, or dare I say just build it!

anyone wanna give me a beater car?:D

You might just need an oil catch can. Some engines route excess oil through the intercooler to the intake to be burned off. How much oil is in there?

good bit, it's not dripping or anything though, and the car's only a quart low and overdue for an oil change (none added)

perhaps I'll inquire further on a board with people more familiar with the car:D no offense homeboys.;)
