Well today started off really good. I was going to a friends house to work on my truck. I was going to install a wicked wheelz compressor wheel to see if that would remove the little lag that has always been there and annoyed me. (I mean who doesn't like instant feedback when you smash the petal?) Got everything apart and found standing oil in the turbo. Now she is off at the dealership to get "diagnosed" and repaired. I was at least lucky enough to find out before the turbo "grenaded" the intake system.
Is that oil unusual with the 6.7?
On a stock 6.0, you'll see oil collect there because of the CCV system.
Did you experience loss of power or hear scraping noise? Any white/blue smoke out the tail pipe?
Asking questions because I'm trying to get informed prior to making the move from my 6.0 to a 6.7.
I am not very familiar with turbos so I had a friend of mine helping me (turner guy). He informed me that there shouldn't be any oil collecting there as it is circulating it though the intake.
It did start to lose about 3ish PSI under full load and it lagged, I started to notice the lag about a week ago because it was worse than normal but caught the problem early enough that I didn't hear any noise or smoke. I think it would be hard to see any smoke coming out of these trucks due to the emissions control crap on them. I haven't seen or heard about to many turbo failures on the 6.7 so I am taking it as an anomaly and that the gremlins got me. This is the first and hopefully the last big issue I have with it.
Is there excessive play in the shaft? The 6.7 isn't supposed to bleed oil from the CCV system like the older engines did, but it wouldn't surprise me if your dealer tells you it is perfectly normal.

I won't know until tomorrow. The diesel technicians don't work weekends.
That looks pretty normal to me. Crankcases need to be vented, and emission laws prevent Ford or anybody else from venting to atmosphere, so it gets routed to the intake. On turbocharged engines it has to be before the turbo or you pressurize the crankcase and blow the seals out. Unfortunately when hot crankcase vapors condense its mostly oil, which makes a mess of the intake system. But on the plus side boost leaks are easy to find....
I am interested in the Ford techs opinion on it, as he may find something, but just don't hold your breath for a new turbo.
