Default Liquid in vac lines?

Ok well I was just tightning some crap up on my car and looked at my ugly clear plati-crap vac line for my autometer boost gauge. I noticed theres a few small splotches of clearish/yellow liquid in the lines (no i didnt pee in the bov) But there is allot of dark colored oil in the bov. Now I checked all the other pipes and no oil what so ever. So I took the bov (dsm 1g) off and cleaned it out, along with its charge pipe. And today its there again. Anyone have any idea whats going on?

Lemmings!! Its those damn Lemmings again! They live in BOVs and use them as toilets! Sorry, I don't know what I am talking about, I'm a moron. Maybe a sign of blow-by in the turbo, just a guess.

If it was blow by wouldnt it be in the whole charge lines? I mean why the BOV. Also exactly acrossed from where the BOV releases theres oil splashed on ----.

is your pcv valve hooked up to your intake? the pcv valves purpose is to puke oil into your intake manifold and make it dirty as hell and flow bad. i hate that damn thing, i disconnected mine.

Thats probably it.. That turbo worked perfect on the talon when we upgraded.. You shouldn't have any problems with seals being bad on it.

Is the pcv valve off of the block? If so then yeah I got a filter there. I think I was a little confused last night. What else could that ---- be? I really dont think its the seals.

Its possible it is up in the bov.. Then as it warms up it leaks down.
