Oil in intake tube

[zachattack_5491]

Mostly stock s13 SR. I don't think my turbo is blown, it's only got 50k miles on it. From looking at the inside of the intake tube, it looks like oil is coming from the tube that comes from the crankcase vent/stock catch can to the intake tube. Is there any cheap way I can prevent this until I can get an aftermarket catch can? Should I try and empty out the stock one? Any help would be appreciated.

There isn't a TON of oil in there, but certainly more than I'd like to have. Could this possibly effect my gas mileage? It's been getting noticeably worse but the engine still runs like a champ.

see what you have in the stock catch can. Undo your intercooler piping and see if you see any oil there or if it is leaking. Turbo seal may be going.

Should be normal if you don't have a puddle of oil in there or in your intercooler.

Alright cool, as long as it's fairly normal. I'm not burning oil, and there's none in my IC or intake mani.

I also noticed that there's a return line from the stock catch can, so ignore that question about emptying it. Thanks guys.
