Oil in Turbo Inlet
I have a 2018 991.2 Carrera (22,000 kilometres). I was doing a spark plug change the other day and when I took off the U shaped turbo inlet tube I noticed that there was a small quantity of oil that had collected in the turbo inlet.
Nothing major and I just wiped it out with a shop towel. I checked through the DIY threads for the spark plug change and no one else had mentioned it. Has anyone else noticed this?
The car is under a CPO warranty until May 2023 and was just wondering if it is considered normal or if I should bring it to the attention of the dealer.

Totally normal on the passenger side. It's where the pcv intake is.

It's normal and the reason install an AOS. I did my 4 year service on my 19 Carrera T with 6,000 miles and there was oil in the turbo. Photo attached. And correct only on the passenger side, (LHD car).

I bought one but I haven't installed it yet. It's on my to-do list.

I can vouch for the quality of the Vektor catch can! Super nice piece. Hope one for Turbo models come soon!
