I did the mas hack last weekend and i saw there was a lil oil in the pipe. Only had the car like 6 months it blows a lil oil out the exaust (smokes ) but with 160k what do u expect> any way the car was cheap like 1800 bux, not 2 bad for a awd turbo 5 speed. will this thing start to lose performance with the seal leaking cause now she's really strong? Or is anything else gonna get ruined with the oil in the intake? like tb or intercoller or intake or can i just keep running her until i replace the turbo/ build motor next summer? thx.....

The car releases crank case pressure into the intake pipe. you can follow the line from the valvecover to the intake if you didnt know this already. So there will be naturally a little oil in there. How much is in there?

there was some i mean i put my hand in where the mas was and i had oil on my hand not alot but enough to worry me Im scared to take off the whole pipe (afraid of pool coming out the pipe) but if the seal was real bad would it hurt performance of the turbo cause its strong 18 psi on race gas and the plugs are pretty clean just tring to track down the oil/smoke in the exaust

You want to know how bad it really is? Take off your stock IC and see how much oil pours out of it. A motor that is really got some blow-by will have ALOT of oil in the IC. Remember that the IC is the low point of the intake system and the oil will get trapped in the bottom of it (what doesn't get sucked into the cylinders that is). Not to mention that if you have some blow-by your IC will need a good gasoline or kerosene cleaning anyways. Most likely there is nothing that you can do about blow-by, except install a catch can or vent the valve cover through filters into the atmosphere. This way you are not sucking the oil into the intake and dirtying everything up (TB, plugs, turbo, IC, exc.).
