Question is with all the signs of oil weeping at the boots, even after the intercooler, is it safe to say that the intercooler could possibly be holding a sufficient amount of oil in it. If so whats the best way of draining and cleaning it? Oil in intercooler equals loss of cooling area? __________________ 2003 F250 7.3 107000 miles isspro trans pyro and boost guages AE software DP TUNER F5 w/ 80tow, 60econo, 100 perform, drive thru tune, 1200 idle John Wood valvebody 4" Mbrp exhaust ATS ported housing, diy tymar Riffraff FRX and HPX

Problem is when you put it all back together, your CCV will continue to put oil fumes into the system again. __________________ Ken 2002 F-350 CCLB 4X4, HD4R100 , Riffraff FRx, Riffraff CAC Boots & PRI's, Bellowed Up-Pipes, 4" Diamond Eye exhaust, Powerslot rotors, ATS Ported Compressor Housing, DP Tuner-F6, Autoenginuity, EEC-V Breakout Box, KCM S.S.
