Oil leak through intercooler piping?
Ok, what does it mean when you have oil leaking through your hot pipe? From what I heard, that means that I have a damaged turbo. Can anyone clear this up for me so I can fix it asap. Also, are the evo turbo's ball bearing?
BTW, I have a mirage with an evo 5 engine swapped in, but is basicly the same as the evo 8.

Oil leaking through it? It means you have a hole in the IC pipe, first of all.
Second of all, the oil could be coming from the turbo. Do you have the crankcase breather hooked up to the intake? If so, oil can get into the IC system from there, and travel through the IC and pipes. That's why a lot of people use catchcans.
The Evos do not have BB turbos (stock).
