could the intercooler flex tubes have come off ?

 

[bonestroker]

nope the flex tubes are still in place

 

[bushpilot]

finding the source of the oil will a good start

 

[bonestroker]

its comming out of the cover on top of the valve cover. Its spitting iol out and going in to the turbo

pull the oil fill cap... how much blowby is there? our trucks have some but not as much as i think your gonna find.

The Orings for the CCV cover may be bad and need replacing,the rubber CCV 90 degree tube may be loose,cracked or plain leaking.

I believe blowby increases at varying percentages with every engine.

Might need to do the CCV mod there Bone.

Yep--when I did the CCV mod and flipped the breather front-to-back, I lost one of the o-rings and it made a TREMENDOUS mess. Like CHP said, if an o-ring is broken/missing, that would be an easy (and cheap) fix.

What everyone has said, AND... theres a bolt headed plug on the head, between the valve cover and the block. They have and O ring.. check those.

The no boost part makes me think: I/C boots & tubes tho..

What if the boost gauge has gone bad? The IC tubes could still be tight/connected but the gauge isn't properly reading pressure.
