Bugger went to clean my throttle body today and noticed a bit of oil on outlet of my V2. :vpo: (Non intercooled aprox 7psi vy ss). I wiped it with a cloth and then started car. Didn't notice anything on idle but increase the rpm and it kept on reapearing. It wasn't enough to wet my hand when holding about a foot away. Presume it's time for a rebuild. Is this something I could take on myself or who do you recomend sending it to. Also how urgent do you think this is I was just about to take it on a week long xmas holiday trip.
Any help would be great.
Cheers, Chris

Your not the first person to pull a throttle body off to clean it only to find the breather has put oil in there and you wont be the last.

Do a search you will prob find many threads on it.

Any car that doesnt have its own catch can, ie 99% will be doing the same as yours.
