Archived Major oil leak??

[SOOT]

My truck has decided to start puking engine oil out the blow-by tube:{ I'm talking like 1. 5 gallons in 4 days:--) It runs fine, no loss of power no excessive smoke, no oil in coolant or cooland in oil, oil smells normal. I just changed it less than 500 miles ago.



So what gives?????????????



Confused in Wyoming?:{

Can you see the oil coming out of the draft tube. If you can my thinking would be the turbo somehow pressurizing the crankcase. I believe there is an internal seal that is supposed to prevnt this, I may be wrong. I'm thinking if every cylinder had something drastic to it happen it still wouldn't be puking that much... And with you stating no loss in perf. I doubt it 's the cylinders.



Good luck!!!

Have you been driving on extremely steep slopes?

Vacuum pump failures can do that...



(I think... )

I haven't been off of the pavement in along time with the truck.



I talked to the local Cummins shop and they seem to think a seal went bad in the turbo and is presurrizing the crankcase. So I am going to get a rebuild kit and see if that will fix it. I wish I could afford a new Piersified turbo:{
