there is a drain tube that leads from the bottom of the air filter housing that leads down to the oil pool at the bottom of the engine. If you take your air filter houseing off you will see about a 1/2" tube opening. That mates up with the oil separator in the air filter housing. If that is not lined up then the oil that is separated from the blow-by air delivered from the top of the valve cover will simply dribble down and hit the exhaust side of the turbocharger.
