Oil in air box ninja 250?

There's a hose that runs from the top of the engine/transmission to the airbox. This is the Crankcase vent hose. Pressure in the crankcase caused by blowby is relieved into the airbox to reduce pollution. It's 100% normal for there to by oil in the bottom of the airbox Running the engine for long periods of time above 8,000RPM will increase the amount of oil in the airbox. There's a little drain hose on the bottom of the airbox, just pull the plug and let the oil drain out into the pan everytime you do an oil change.

First off, open your hood and remove the airbox (this is assuming you have the 4 cylinder engine). Once you remove the airbox, look down at the rear of the engine and find the exhaust pipe. The oxygen sensor will be a few inches down the pipe from the exhaust manifold.


If you have oil in your intercooler is your turbo going bad?

There will always be some oil in the intercooler. Part of the emissions system connects the engine breather to the airbox. As the turbo sucks air through the airbox it tends to suck some oil into the intercooler.
