I just installed a CCV mod and now there is massive oil coming out of the turbo pedestal. There'd been an oil build up in the intake valley for a while now and the pedestal has oil gunk dried on it, so I think it's just coincidence that it started really gushing now. I unplugged the CCV mod hose by the air intake and it was blowing freely, so I really don't think that's the issue. The only other thing I did was clean and re-tighten the intercooler pipes and boots while installing the CCV mod. We were backing out of the driveway after the CCV mod and intercooler pipe cleaning when my wife noticed a huge pool of oil where the truck was parked at, so I didn't drive the truck at all after the CCV mod / intercooler pipe cleaning.

I spent a long time laying on the motor today with a extendable mechanics mirror and a flashlight, then I ran it and waited for the oil to start leaking badly. It doesn't come out until the truck starts to warm up, like about 3-5 minutes, then it really comes out. The previous owner took the EBVP off when he installed a new turbo b/c it stuck closed and burnt the original turbo up. So, there's a hole with a bolt stud coming out of it about halfway up on the right side of the pedestal that can be seen on the right (passenger side) below the exhaust side of the turbo. At first I thought the oil may be running off the top of the pedestal, but I'm almost 100% sure it's actually coming out of that hole. Could someone PLEASE give me some guidance on this? I don't know what could be causing this. If the O-rings were bad wouldn't the oil just leak from the top or bottom and not come out a hole in the middle of the pedestal?

I just found the fantastic attached picture courtesy of a PSD guy who gos by the name VitalIdle. The oil is coming out of the housing where the yellow circle is on the EBPV pedestal.
