oil inside turbo inlets

AKRM2C · 01-11-2025, 12:32 AM

Hi guys, noticed a small amount of oil in my right side turbo inlet. And a a tiny tiny puddle is on the spot i circled green. Picture posted below.

Is this normal or the pcv hose and oil separator needs to be replaced? Thank you.

My car is a 2012 M5

It's normal to have some oil, coming from pcv breather. Replace your pcv if they're old or leaking.

Should i replace just the hose?

Have they ever been replaced?

AKRM2C · 01-13-2025, 04:54 AM

Never replaced them ever

I'd do it. They do wear out. My exhaust smoke reduced dramatically after replacement.
