Oil smell from crankcase breather tube
I have a 2003, 5.9L, 4x4, auto, 3500, with about 110,000 miles. I have noticed a significant increase in the diesel oil smell from crank case breather tube. Any idea what the cause and fix for this is?

You might try running a short (or) long hose from the draft tube to run the fumes closer to the pavement to help move the vapors further away.
---At the fleet shop where I used to work it was a common practice. I remember 3406 Cats coming in that looked like steam coming out of the hose
I know it helps a little on my 04.
