Oily stuff in my intake

[caspros]

So I took off my AFM to lend to someone, and noticed the AFM, and the intake pipey thing that goes to the air filter is coated in an oily substance. I do have a HKS pod type filter, as it is the only thing that fit's under the the intake shieldy thing.

I haven't oiled the filter ever ( am I meant to ? ) but what damage if any could this oily substance do ?

The car is fine, no problems, just not sure if this oily substance should be there.

tell me.... where does your breather go???? into the inlet pipe by any chance????

if your getting any blowby (more than likely you are) it will end up exactally where youve described

[caspros]

Ummm *cough*

My breather ? How embarrassing, I don't even know what that is. I shall google to find out exactly what it is and then go have a look. I'm guessing the inlet pipe is the pipe that is attached to the filter.

Oh no no, I'm not. It was just left in there. I need to figure out how to seal the hole that is left by it, so it was easier just to leave it screwed in. But then I lent it to someone, and noticed the oily stuff.

Really ? I need to look at it again, but I thought the pod screwed onto the pipe in a particular way.

[funkytown]

depends what your pod is.. but i have a link and with a couple of silicon joiners and a pipe and "AFM like flange peice" i dont need the AFM in there..

[caspros]

It looks like this

But yeah, if I can see how you've done it that would be cool !

Don't think it'll stop oily stuff in the pipe though

[funkytown]

in your track car.. yer probly a real good idea chap ;D

[Guest lan_killa]

your breather is a peice of pipe that comes up from the crankcase and joins into the intake pipe, will be of a decent diameter. the breather allows the crankcase the breathe so it doesnt get pressurised and spits the breathing into the intake where it then gets burnt by the motor, rather than spraying your engine bay with this oily crap

Googles "what is a catch can"

Seriously, if I was this inept in my professional life I'd be writing on this forum from the free computers at the local library before going back to sleep under newspaper in my cardboard box on Vivian Street.

Fix it like stop oil from going in the intake, or fix it like go past speed cameras at ridiculous speeds ;D
