Default oil in ic pipes!?!?!?!?

watsup i took off my ic pipeing from the intercooler and i seen that there is oil in it, is that b/c of bad turbo seals, if so exactly what seals do i have to get, its a 14b eclipse turbo, so i have to go to mitsubishi?

sound like the turbo to me, Ive seen rebuild kits on ebay, otherwise just replace the turbo. Or this would be the perfect time to go 16G!

Yup, definatly sounds like its time for a rebuild. 14b's are really easy to rebuild. Turbo rebuild kits are pretty cheap too, around 75-125 bucks.

Heres a decent write up

It can be the oil return line, too. Too tight and it can't flow enough oil.
