My 2005 PSD has started to blow blue smoke, especially when accelerating from a stoplight/stop sign. I checked the oil today and it was not on the dipstick, so it took 1.5 quarts of oil to get it back on there. I now know I'm burning oil from somewhere. I've read that it could be a seal in the turbo. My turbo was replaced under warranty 2.5 years ago with a 2007 model, but I've not had any boost problems lately.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

BTW, I use Rotella 5W40 Syn, fuel additive at every fillup, and just ran 4 oz of Rev-X for the fun of it even though I wasn't having any stiction issues.

 

My suggestion is only from past experience with V8's and old engines but i would say either your piston rings or valve guide seals are worn. But could be wrong since I assume its a diesel.

 

The First Spot Id check is the Down Pipe Out the Back the TURBO

theres a pic somewhere of the Oil Swirl

Thank you all for the replies! The truck is going under the knife on Monday to update all the parts that have changed from Ford/International including a BPD EGR cooler. I'll have the mechanic check for the "oil swirl" in the downpipe. If it is the turbo causing this, how hard of a fix is that? Or will I need a new turbo?

 

Hey DC, this is what my truck looked like when I broke the shaft in the turbo. It blew 1 1/2 gallons by the time I got it parked at a hotel.



I'm sure my housing was shot,,, but I looked for a rebuild kit that included the shaft,,, couldn't find one.

But there are rebuild kits for a blown oil seal.

 

Thie was from the Main Turbine Shaft Breaking Anothony???

Any Pics of the Carnage???

 

No West Nile Virus there, all the Mosquitos are dead! !!

 

Yeah, lme dig em outta the photobucket acct.

Also, the fire dept showed up. It looked like fog. It literally covered the whole interstate,, both ways,,, I was climbing vail pass n co. Lemme look for the pics

 

Here's one

 

I only have that one. But the exhaust turbine was just sitting in there. I still have the turbo.

 

Wow, I'm glad that I'm nowhere near this amount of smoke billowing out the exhaust. Mine is just a haze compared to this.

That makes my day to know that there are rebuild kits for the blown seal. Do you know where I can get one? Thanks for your help.

 

One place I found is called"papa" something. Can't remember off hand. Maybe someone else will chime in with a link or something.
