as no one has come back to my question as to wether their turbo's have oil in the INLET pipe to the turbo from the breather pipe im guessing the answer is no..

which got me thinking...

i have replaced the oil breather box and cleaned out ALL the pipes..so how come oil is getting there..now i could have monumental blow by - but im guessing i would know...

or..has anyone ever had the drain pipe from the breather box block..this would lead to oil collecting in the breather box and possibly being routed up the pipes...

I m kinda leaning this way cos the rubber pipe (i.e. pipe to flame trap - if the turbo had one) that plugs onto the top of the seperator box also weeps oil onto the top of the seperator and i have fitted a clear pipe from the seperator y joint to the manafold and this seem to be pretty oily to me...

so basically why doesnt my seperator seperate...or is that just how badly they work?
