Oil in crossover pipe

[iain1067]

i seem to have rather a lot of old looking oil in the cross over pipe (urs6),
like when i took the michelin man hose off tonight it pee'd all over the drive,
should i have this amount of oil here?? and if i shouldn't what can i do about
it??

A lot of it is from the crankcase breather, the rest is fuel vapour's. The amount depends on how clean your engine is. I regularly take that hose off and give it a clean.

Time for me to do the same, should i also take the intercooler out and give that a flush too???

You can do but the MM pipe is the lowest point so it all usually collects there.

Good point, probably a bar steward to get out anyway.

any way to clean eveything using some additive or flush etc? I know this is not the right thing to do but just cleaning one pipe doesn't cure the problem i guess?

you will never cure the "problem" because of the way the breather system works, you will always have this vapour on a stock car.
