Is there oil in your coolant or coolant in your oil?
Pull the charge pipe off the turbo see if there is excessive oil in there. Report back |

|
no contaminants in the crankcase or cooling system
|

Pull your intake and look at the turbo. Is their a ton of oil in the intake? How dies the turbo look?
If it truly us oil, I would guess either the CDR went bad, or the turbo did. Are you sure it was oil? Sometimes when you start a diesel these black watery spots come out, but that's just because the moisture in the exhaust combines with the soot. It's actually kinda common. Is that what is happening? |

ill have to check it when i get home im an auto mechanic but didnt have the tools nor the time last night to check her out after i got home it was dark. im thinking the turbo blew or injection pump when nuts, and no its not water and soot coming out of the exhaust!

Just wondering. My factory exhaust did it, cold
morning starts would leave a trail on the concrete from yhe exhaust. Worried me in the beggining, but that's normal. |
|

|
the knocking worries me.
|
|
|||
|
ok so turbo is feels good no slop in it. quite a bit of oil it the intake and the crankcase vent? and the knock is still there any ideas?
|

Does it knock at idle?
If so, take a wrench and loosen each injector line. Do it one at a time, if the knock goes away when you loosen a line, that could mean a bad injector. I'm hoping thats what it is. If not, pull the valve covers and look at the valvetrain, anything out of the ordinary? |
