  1. Awesome! thanks for that info! I know the c-clips CAN be wiggled out but it's a major pain in the butt, last time I pryed it with a flat head and it sprung off into the bumper near the fog light so I had to take the whole thing apart to find the clip. Not to mention the clip only goes in one direction which makes it hard to clip back on if the front bumper is attached. There's was a hose going into the intercooler pipe that was lined with grease and I suspected it to be the source of the pool of oil, now that I know it's the evap vent. It could also be the turbo bearing, I know if I use a more viscous engine oil (20-40W instead of 0-15W) the oil consumption rate slows down noticeably, so that tells me it's probably not just the evap vent putting oil into my intercooler?
  2. So I know it's almost been a year but I have that exact problem! My left side intercooler pipe fills up with oil over time. The other side is perfectly fine! One mechanic I took it to said I needed a turbo replacement on that side ($15k parts+labor) and while the engine's out he said he might as well replace the other turbo too!! WTF! Can you tell me a bit more about the evap vent and how/why it's causing a buildup of oil and how do I fix it? And when it's full of oil, how do I clean it? I don't suppose Porsche recommends that I take that hose apart every few months to drain the oil buildup right? I know the intercooler pipe is held together with a C-clip but it unclips forwards which means I normally have to remove the entire bumper to drain the oil out of the intercooler pipe.
