Just this past weekend I got under the car to re-lube the dv+ brass piston. When I unplugged the wire harness I had oil dripping from the plug? I've never seen that before and I re-lube the brass piston every 10-15k miles. Is the dv+ the problem?

I saw this in my dv harness when I first installed my dv+. I believe it was oil leaking from the pcv hose that popped off my ecs intake when the mounting bracket snapped a few months before(ecs replaced the pipe under warranty)
I just cleaned it out as best as I could and put it back on
I'll double check the rear pcv hose to see if its leaking but I checked everything as best as I could and did't find a definitive source. The inside of the solenoid was heavily coated in oil so I don't think there was an oil leak from above the dv.
A bad pcv can cause oil to go down the intake through the turbo, and then it just gets all over. I had it before, after pcv replacement it was better. I did not have it on the plug though iirc, so that could be a different issue
I never had this issue before, I just installed my 034 catch can kit for spring/summer/fall so its quite possible that my last pcv that is used for winters only was bad.
I'm just wondering if my gfb dv+ has malfunctioned? The dv solenoid? Like I've said I've never seen the solenoid and connector dripping in oil.......
Do I buy a rev D AND a new dv+? Any help would be much appreciated :thumbsup:
BTW gas mileage is normal but getting on boost feels jerky, no decarb yet at 81K miles (virtually ALL highway miles)
