Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Twins break in timeframe? Oil in intake...

[Hohn]

usually it's a rubber or plastic plug that's stuck into the oil inlet and outlet(drain back)--but if you know you removed them then maybe it's a bad seal---I think I'd work on the fuel prob first and then see what happens to your other issues--god knows you must be pulling your hair out--chris

I'd add that IF you have fuel in the crankcase, it's possible that you are experiencing enough dilution to where the seals won't prevent seepage.



What seals a 40wt oil will not always seal diesel fuel-- true?

My bottom turbo (B2) in my twin setup leaked some oil until I had a couple of hours on it. You could take off the air filter hose on see oil on the bottom of the interior of the turbo. Also the turbo wheel felt loose and had some play in it. After a few hours no more oil and the twins have been ruuning fine for the past 15 months.
