HELP: Something popped and leaked in my engine. Possibly oil leak? Video attached

[Rta95]

So car has been driving fine. Didn't notice anything there. But started hearing a louder wooshing noise and then on harder acceleration, almost like a little air horn. So that prompted me to check under the hood, where I saw this.

It's a splatter towards the front left side of the car/right side if you're looking at the engine. Seems like oil leaked? I should know this engine better by now. But I haven't touched or done anything to this part of the car.

The wooshing noise is the charge pipe. Oil leaked lubricated the coupling I think and it came a little undone.

Any help from anyone smarter than me?

Now I'm thinking some type of low pressure oil leak and escaped air from the charge pipe is blowing it up at the hood? Also realized I said fuel in the post instead of oil lol

Going to guess chargepipe coupler popped and you have oil in your intake tract and it went everywhere.

Ignore me saying fuel lol. Meant oil. And I think it's blow by oil being blow from the loose charge pipe which probably got loose somehow. Would that make sense?

Yeah I think that's it. I'll tighten the coupler. Should be more worried about the oil in the tract? Or kinda normal? Maybe need catch can?

Yea in your video you can see the coupler is loose.

a little bit is normal but if you take a look in the chargepipe and theres a lot may be an issue

I've never had any but maybe it's because I use non Boomer Blob approved oil.
