any ideas?

its running a bit rough, its got a slight idle issue, but i have an oil leak from my bottom intercooler hose?

why is there oil in my intercooler? turbo seals?

ive got oil seeping from.....

bottom hose on intercooler,
exhaust manifold,
got little oil in the samco where dump valve is,
the charge pipe,
little in throttle body,
and has prob gone down the pipe from throttle body into my idle control valve
and my plugs are oily?

when under heavy load only there is black smoke which indicates petrol usually.

the car has run fine for 6 months of owning it and all of a sudden yesterday it cut out, ive got it goin again now after cleaning the plugs,it was only a small oil leak now its getting round the engine by looks of it? but what could this be, seals? valve stems? crank case? ive been told allsorts,

has anybody else had these symptons? and where would u start?

1. up to now im gona do a compression test.
2. drop the bottom hose on cooler and see how much oil comes out.
3. clean out charge pipes.
4. clean out idle control valve.
5. drop exhaust as i have another 1 to go on. see how much is in there?


what u guys think?
