Oil spray on hoses? 2009 RXT 215

[jisgett]

Hey all, today I replaced my formed hose on the RXT (the old one had split almost in two). However, I noticed that there was a good deal of what seemed like oil on the nearby hoses, presumably blown out of the ruptured hose onto nearby hoses. This was not a lot of oil, to begin with, but looked as if it had been spewed out in relatively small quantities. Also, it did not simply wipe off with a rag, but required a dewaxer/degreaser in small amounts to actually remove the oil (if that is what the stuff was).

Any thoughts? Should the oil have sprayed out of that ruptured formed hose (it goes between the supercharger and the throttle body)? Any problem with longevity on the hoses now that they had petroleum (possibly) and now dewaxer/degreaser on them?

Thanks for the help, as always. Hope you guys are all doing well.

thats not a big deal thats just a small amount of blow-by it a supercharged engine so some blow-by is expected i wouldnt worry

Hello: I have rebuilt lots of these and the seal located behind the turbine can fail in less than 50 hrs. So don't be alarmed to see some blow-by.

crankcase blow-by and oil pushing into the supercharger-throttle body hose are 2 completely different stories. you're going to want to pull your charger and swap the seal for a Viton seal before something really bad happens.

Thoughts on the last poster? He mentioned a viton seal. Is this a dificult fix?

Is this the same seal that the last poster mentioned? Is the seal expensive/tough to replace?
