Hey guys
Blew a boot going to the intercooler today at 60+psi ....... when I pulled over noticed small amount of oil as well.

How do I tell if its a blown seal ........ I cleaned it up and drove the remaining 5 miles home at a slow pace and didnt see any further oil in cold pipe.

thanks
 
Probably not blown out, but the sudden lack of pressure does pull a bit of oil past the seal.
 
Thanks ....kinda makes sense.

What would be best way to confirm .... cleanup and drive and check for oil after a run ?

Amount of oil was probably a couple 1-2 tablespoons

My buddy blew a boot. I know the turbo was good and not leaking oil, but he Drove it about 10 miles to where I was to swap trucks. Would have thought he windowed the block with the amount of oil everywhere. Cleaned out the pipes and put different boots on. Never had a problem since.
