ok so besides the fact that i've noticed that my intake piping that goes right beforethe IC is coverd in a light film of oil. i think i see what might be a few small tears in it. for a temp fix i'd like to wrap the whole hose in dect tape or something very strong to not only keep it from expanding so much but to also try to keep it from leaking as much oil to the inside of my car. i know this is signs of another problem with the turbo maybe being worn but i figure, i've see no smoke out the exhaust, the IC has very little if not no oil left in it. and the car has been running strong(up untill about two days ago when i've noticed i've lost about 10+ hp. this is just needing to last me say a month and about ~300 miles of driving. sound like a plan or should i just sideline the car for now?
