Mostly likely blown turbo seal. the oil got thru the seal and into intake and BOV released the oil in engine bay. I had my turbo seal blown and it was doing that.

i agree sounds like a blown turbo seal - don't need a new turbo, just a rebuild... problem is, they cost about the same on t25s lol. Start lookin around for a great condition t25 for about $100, or upgrade to a t28 for ~$400

are you smoking out of your tailpipe at all? usually you will get white smoke when your seals go bad...this is just an excuse to upgrade

im not blowing any smoke at all its really weird. i actually think its the turbo oil line has a leak and when pressure builds up it is spraying out and just so happens to get on the bov. i have not checked it yet.
