Oil leak
Ok guys,
I have an oil leak thats all over my turbo hose behind the oil filter housing.
I have tried to put up a pic but this site wont let me for some odd reason.
Anyways, the filter housing is clean but there is oil on that large tube behind the oil filter housing and down under that tube.
After sitting a week in the garage, the oil spill was only the size of a dime.
Seems it nay be a typical leak but it is all over that hose.
Any idea where the heck that leak is. I cannot find it.

Oil from your ccv (crankcase vent) has soaked your CAC tubes and softened them - causing them to leak. They need to be replaced. The intake tubes need to be cleaned. Lastly (IMO), you need to re-route your crankcase vent.
