Suckin Oil

[pejay63]

99 7.3 F550 - bought truck used sucking about 4 qts oil every 13-15 miles. took it to mechanic recommended turbo be replaced, turbo had about an 1" of play in and out. Replaced turbo still have same problem.

Anyone had this happen to you? Any Clue?

4 quarts in 15 miles , if it were sucking that much thru turbo, it would be smoking so bad you couldnt see behind you

something has to be causing that. any smoke?

let me ask this..... is there any visible oil leaks.... is the drain plug in the oil pan???

[pejay63]

its only blowin white smoke when oil level gets low enough its starting to turn injectors off. What else could it be?

After replaced turbo did complete oil change made an 80 mile round trip with no problems. Started it up, no problem, drove 3 miles and it started cutting out loosing power. Checked engine oil level and hardly registered on stick.

Has slight leak at front of oil pan, but no visible puddles.

internals of the injectors is the only other thing it could be to be using that much

is there oil in the coolant???
