Hey everyone! So I'm new to here. Got a 2014 Chevy Cruze LT 1.4 Turbo. So it has been leaking oil like crazy and I did a ton to it. Valve cover, timing cover, oil pan gasket, new turbo. STILL leaked oil. FINALLY I found out about the check valve in the intake and replaced it. Oil was in the throttle, intake, etc... NOW it doesn't leak oil. HOWEVER I hit the interstate today and the hose that goes to the throttle blew off. Would that mean that my throttle would be bad? If so, does it need a re-learn procedure? Please help :'(
Throttle issue maybe?

Probably means the hose clamp wasn't installed properly.
I'm guessing you're talking about the hose from the intercooler to throttle body. I have my doubts if it's an overboost condition. If it was, I'd expect a check engine light with a code for overboost.

That's what I was thinking. Now the hose clamp wasn't tight. But now it lugs when I give it gas. But still no check engine light.
Because you had some much oil being pulled through the intake, the intercooler probably has a lot of oil in it blocking air flow. Taking off the intercooler air feed and discharge line to let the oil drain should be enough to fix it up.
I never thought about that. I appreciate it!!! This car has given me HELL. But I love it!
Its been known to happen. You're not the first to have your intake flooded with oil because of a PCV system failure.
The oil gets moving around under boost, and messes with the air flow. As I mentioned, if you drain the intercooler you probably be good to go.
