Oil in intercooler????

While changing the valve cover gasket on the passenger side the other day I had to remove the intercooler tubing. I noticed there was a fair amount of oil inside. Somebody mentioned maybe I need to rebuild the turbo? Any ideas?

It's probably just from the crankcase vent on the left valve cover.

Yup that's normal. The crankcase vents into the intake so you will get some oil in the intercooler

Ok good! Can I put a filter on the valve cover and plug the hole in the intake?

I don't know if you can do a filter right on the CCV doghouse, most just flip the doghouse around and put a piece of tube up over the brake booster and vent to athmopsphere under the truck

here is a link to it on an SD w/ a filter trap
