ok so two weeks ago i had the oil changed now today i am two gallons low whith no leaks hitting the ground and i know they filed it up i watched them do my guess is the seal in the turbo and out the exhaust hpoefulu not in the inter cooler anyone know anything about this?????

Willy91

hmm 2 gallons is quite a little bit. Have you checked your radiator or overflow to make shure it's not a headgasket?

farmerlee

nope not there i am going to pull it apart as soon as i get some parts im exspecting anny other ideas i have ben getting alot of blue smoke latly maby it is burning it ???

blackdiesel

two GALLONS??? the truck only holds ten quarts!!! its 8 quarts to the low safe mark! wow. thats crazy

Check your intercooler for oil residue if your shaft is leaking.

Like stated, pull radiator cap and look at the surface of the coolant for oil. Is the drain plug missing?

farmerlee

ha no the drain plug is still in their and nothin in the raidator i puled the air side off the turbo and its real suitty any chances its burning off in the exhaust i had it real hot a while back and i also noticed the boost line from the air side to the waiste gaite was blown off so that problay dosent help whith alot of my other problems any more ideas????

farmerlee

and the truck holds 12 befor the filter makeing it 13 if im not mistaken

maybe if the 12 valves are different. 10 was plenty for the change I just did.

prattman

12 valves are 11 quarts with the filter prefilled.

Just because you watched doesn't mean it was full. I can't believe that you went thru 8 quarts of oil. Just me.

farmerlee

well maby so i will get a new turbo next week so it will give me some time to keep an eye on thanks for all the input

so since you topped it off has it lost any?
Just thinking they didn't fill it.

Fill it and run it a few miles then check it before you start throwing parts at it.
If it is not leaking it from the outside and it is not crossing over to the cooling system then must be going out the tailpipe . Are you sure you have no leaks from head gasket,crank seal's,timing cover,valve covers,power steering/vacume pump, or out the breather tube (crankcase vent) ?
To burn up that amount of oil i would think a cracked piston or rings or the turbo seals are long gone either one should make a very big blue smoke trail with that amount of oil loss. Look into your exhaust and see if it looks wet or oily ? Check for a large amount of blowby with the engine running.
