Trucks here, turbo's off, blew the seal inside the turbo. No oil in the turbo inlet pipe just the outlet, truck runs like a animal, not finding any excessive blow-by or coolant in the oil, I think what your seeing is condensation in the CCV hose with the normal crankcase pressures, you have to remember normaly this gets sucked back into the engine and burned, now you have a hose on it your going to see some oil dripping out of it, as well as condensation with these colder temps were having. Heres some pics.

Great News!

Glad to hear it was not a major engine failure. John's christmas should be much better now.

Nothing like Great, Knowledgeable, Professioinal & Conscientious service techs, that quickly get to the heart of the matter. YelloThumbUp

Smoke like a real diesel should. None of this environmental clean diesel crap! :rofl:
 
Reading Dave's post, I'm about to cry I'm so happy for John (seriously)......I don't know if there's another site on the net that has attracted the quality of techs this site has!!! Dave, Vince, Bowtiehtr, etal, thanks for choosing to hang out here and for all you do...:bow:
 
I see engine compartment with the tubro out, I say how they get it out so quick, I think I'd hurt my self tring to do it. Glad the CCV hose thing is not part of the failure. Also that it is a seal on the turbo for the oil leak.
Did you see or find anything about the extra pressure in the crankcase or was I seeing thing.

Dave today you the man. (in my book anyway)YelloThumbUp

I can have the turbo out in less than an hour it's pretty easy when you do it all the time... Crankcase pressure seems normal to me no extra huffing thing runs great. I'll call you with the even better news.!!

The guy that works on mine gets it out in 30 minutes. :) Sadly, mine is the only 6.0 he's worked on, but he sure has gotten good with it!! ROFLMAO

Naturally, the turbo is much easier to remove when the engine is sitting on your garage floor with a hole in the bottom end of the block.:rofl2:
 
Man that is great to hear! Glad things worked out in your favor. Dave, clearly all Techs are not created equal. Great Job!

Glad to hear about your truck not needing an engine.

I also want to thank all of out rsident techs.
None of us would be here if not for the great people that actually will listen. There are a lot of extremely intelligent folks here, and we know that if we're not accurate in our help, you'll rake us over the coals. Personally, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
