So my truck is losing oil (about 2 quarts per 650 miles). No visible leaks other then a damp spot on the rear of the passenger side valve cover.


I have checked both sides of the turbo, intake side had a very small film of oil on the boot between the CCV and the turbo. The exhaust side was just soot with no indication of a leaking seal.
Oil cap flip trick for blowby was fine, cap just rattled off. Fuel filter was kind of dirty but the fuel was clean in the bowl


Truck runs good, starting it after it sitting overnight sometimes has to be cranked a bit more with a bit of a haze that clears up quickly.

I was hoping for injector orings but am I thinking injectors or possibly something else? Truck has 120,000 miles give or take

 

Sounds like injector orings.
What color is the fuel filter?

 

The fuel filter I replaced was the second photo

 

Can't really tell on my phone but if the filter has black on it then oil is getting into the fuel (injector orings)

 

I only see 1 photo

 

Odd I posted links to both but regardless I added the img code so they will show rather then being a url. sorry about that.

 

Change the get gauge to the exhaust manifold, that filter looks black and a good sign of injector O rings.

 

Original owner put the pyro there, I planned on moving it once I got rid of the stock exhaust/DP, I rarely tow (trailer plug has a short) or haul anything more then an atv or mountain bikes.

 

Is it just me or is that down pipe cracked big time!? Or is it just the weld line??

 

Just the anemic stock down pipe, looks to be just the angle that makes it look cracked.

 

I read through his other threads and I'm thinking if his dipstick tube isnt puking oil then his turbo is eating it..

 

Picture is misleading, it is the weld. Nothing from the dipstick tube, this truck has never leaked oil. Is there any other indicators that the turbo is on its way out? I am not completely against pulling it and rebuilding it, would give me a reason to do the 1.0 housing and ebvp delete.

 

Black fuel filter, like yours, is an instant sign of bad injector O-rings. I highly doubt oil is leaving through your turbo, they tend to just dump loads of oil when they do go.

 

If the O-rings are leaking by bad enough to cause excessive oil consumption he'd have mega hot start issues..

 

My truck will burn 2 gallons in 3,000 miles, the orings are shot, it startes great all the time...

Bad IPR will cause hot start issues.
