Rear turbo pipe soaked

[Flexthis2011EB]

So I noticed that my rear turbo is soaked in what looks to be oil. Mostly on the plastic charge piping down there. Its not the bov as mentioned in a previous post. Any ideas? I'm taking cat off now to get a closer look.

This might be the thread you mention: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eecoboostperformanceforum%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3Ftopic%3D7090&share_tid=7090&share_fid=56487&share_type=t

Can you take some pictures from up top as well with the engine cover removed? Any oil in the CAC or intake piping to the TB?

Loose hose clamps and cracked hoses at/near the clamp are known to happen.  So that'd be my 1st goto.

X2 Agree with SHOdded and check the hose clamps they could be loose and check the hose because its very susceptible to high heat and could be worn out,due post some pic's of the area in question.  Z

And this sucks because it seems the only way to acces that back turbo is by removing the cat but two of the 3 bolts are rounded. Ugh, what a nightmare......yet again.

Its looks like its pretty much scattered with oil IDK.  Z

Not good.

The bellow portion of the charge pipe connection splits open and leaks from there. It may not look torn without moving it around so you really need to remove it to get a good look at it

True.......would try to clean up the area first by eliminating all that oil and gunk with a mild cleaning agent and let air dry,then try to pinpoint/determine exact location of the leak in question and proceed from there. BTW need to take (extra precaution) and becareful not to damage the heater hoses,brake lines,etc by the firewall area,best of luck to ya. Z

Also I would shove a rag or something inside that turbo open pipe. You don't want something falling in there....
