mines the same ,it sucks as i never floor it to clear it out.One day i did, it went all strange like it was going to die, i went in the slow lane and looked in rear mirror a massive cloud of blue smoke.Boot it more often to clear it out of bottom of intercooler.Its fine now i know,i thought turbo oil seal died. :laugh:

i think a oil catch can might stop it ,or help .Might leak from turbo oil seal and vapour from rocker cover? Anyone know if a catch can helps? :undecided:

It might be as too much oil can lead to problems.

You will certainly see an improvement with catch can i would have thought, you do expect it to fill up faster than it does though  :smiley:
