Oil in intercooler tubing...

I just replaced my powersteering pump (worst design for a pulley ever) and noticed quite a bit of engine oil in the tubes.

I know my rear main is leaking and have had new valve cover gaskets put on a year ago or less.

Is this a huge problem. She runs very well, idles smooth, hits almost 11 lbs of boost with the open exhaust, etc.

I've heard the usual stories about my old man's 69 Camaro that wouldn't run unless it burned oil, blah blah blah.

So is this just "burning oil" or indicative of a larger issue?

Thanks, guys.

Josh, it's quite normal to get oil in the IC pipes. No worry.

Thanks, Mike. I was going to call you again, but after bugging you the last few days I thought I'd give you a break.

We need to get a drink soon, I'm interested in what you're thinking about the new motor. Since I have that extra motor at Rick's, I want to pick your brain.

No problem, call me anytime.

I little bit of oil is normal.....

The oil come thru your PCV valve and gets trapped in your IC....
