Blowby

[HoleshotHolset]

I opened up the oil fill today with engine idling and was greeted with some white/grey vapor... ... not a whole lot of it, but definitely noticeable...



I just did a search for stuff on 12-valver blowby..... not a whole heck of a lot of info on how much of it is normal.



Anyone have any input?

Any body care to reply about this blow by. My oil cap has slight white residue from it is this normal????

Blowby on a turbo charged diesel is normal. The crankcase is always on the positive side for pressure.



White-tan oily residue on the filler cap is a sure sign of moisture in the crankcase. This could be anywhere from cold starts to cold running to leaking coolant. Get it checked.

It has been cold here and I have only recently used it on short runs, how can I check it and what to look for?? Coolant looks good no oil, oil looks good no coolant?

To be safe, an oil sample would not be out of line.
