typical causes of turbo slobber ...

== Excessive crank case fumes.
== Blocked up exhaust.
== Restrictive intake air filter (dirty, etc).
== Turbo not spinning fast enough at idle and not making enough positive pressure at its face to hold the oil back.

Take your pick.

Inspected and cleaned up the CCV system. No problems.
I did replace the air filter, but it didn’t seem that bad. Not that old.
Everything else seems OK.
I’ll be keeping an eye on it.
As far as the clamp, I thought it could’ve been momentary under boost, especially at altitude. Doesn’t seem like it’s a constant thing, but it could be a trickle.
We’ll see. Thanks.
