[QUOTE="Tex Arcana, post: 2172463, member: 15892"] Well, I went and did an oil change yesterday, and I didn't like what I saw, so I took some pics for your amusement: This is what it looks like under the intake boot: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0004.sized.jpg[/img] Lots of oil and gunk. WTF?? I've heard of Lightning's having oil infiltration problems, but like *this*?? It's even crawling up the blower case... [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0009.sized.jpg[/img] This is the driver's side PCV vent, that runs to the boot: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0008.sized.jpg[/img] Another angle: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0010.sized.jpg[/img[ Even making freakin' stalagmites: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0014.sized.jpg[/img] Good shot from the boot back to the driver's side valve cover and PCV vent: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0019.sized.jpg[/img] Here's how the throttle body looks: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0033.sized.jpg[/img] And the intake boot: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0037.sized.jpg[/img] [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0039.sized.jpg[/img] [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0040.sized.jpg[/img] Effin' mess, I'd say. So, I'm gonna try to get the dealer to clean this up, under the extended warranty, including pulling the blower and intercooler and cleaning them. If they don't, I'll end up doing it myself, dammit. And, no matter what they do, I'm installing these: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0021.sized.jpg[/img] This is how it'll look installed (this is passenger side): [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0024.sized.jpg[/img] The fit will be better, and it'll be mounted to the firewall. The second one will go on the other side, for the same reason. I'm also going to stuff steel wool into the lines just upstread of the valves covers, to help filter any oil mist as soon as possible. fake edit: oh, yeah, check this out: [img]http://viral-humanity.info/gallery/albums/album01/PICT0027.jpg[/img] WTF??
