Have a look above the manifold. It is extremely common for the rockers to leak.

^^^this is where it will be coming from, replace both rocker cover gaskets including the half moon seals and that will fix it

I was going to sugest your oil drain line from your turbo.

Give it a good clean with degreaser and a high pressure hose, get it as clean as you can.

Then start having a look and see were it is coming from.

Could be the gasket has poped, or a bolt isn't tight enough and the prssure is casuing it to come out when the engine is running.

yeah thats what i first thought so i replaced the gasket, degreased the shit out of it and lay under the car with it running and i could see oil slowly bubbling out from one of the bolts that goes through the turbo core into the compressor housing. I couldnt get a socket or spanner up there to tighten the bastard up tho. Also seems to be leaking from above the manifold at the back some where. The joys of a 23yr old rb20det i guess

i got this problem also have you done a 100k service on the car yet, its a O ring seal that needs to be replaced which gets replaced when you do a 100k service, most ppl know the name of this seal but i forgot it hope some one can elaborate on that

yea thats it the cam and crank shaft seals should be replaced with that 200k service but its also called 100k , which water pump crank and cam pully and seals along with the belts should get changed on that service if it hasnt been done then take it back to ppl and say you didint do the right job and get them to do it,

other than that get a water pressure test to see if it is headgasket, i did on mien and was all good, and a cylinder compression test which i going to do that next

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
