I was doing some maintenance on the trucks to day I opened up the hood on the D-MAX and found oil every where. Two week ago I put my LBZ mouth piece in and did the pcv rerought also the EGR plate. I check all that it’s not from there nor is it from the oil cap it’s on there. I check the oil level it was only ¾ of a quart low. The oil was up on the hood just over the front of motor and on top of it as well. O and the turbo is clean to.:help

bump any ideas?

Yikes! Have you checked the oil line to the turbo, and the lines to the oil cooler? Maybe one of them split or something. Best way to tell (and dirtiest) is to start it up and see where it sprays from lol

I started it revved it up to 2 grand and held it nothing so I drove to town and back 60 mi no oil. What the heck! Could it be the EGR cooler?

 

[gr8shot]

Probably not. Dmaxes aren't known for bad EGR coolers like a 6.0 Ford :rof

Tough to say where it came from then. Best bet might just be to wash the engine off and keep an eye on it to see where it's coming from.

O yea I hate EGR’S they are spawn of the devil is there a kit to drop the whole thing all together?

So I think I found my oil leak its being forced out of oil fill neck. What would case this any one got an idea.

In case its not the fill tube I had oil all over my engine when my trans cooler lines started leaking. Don't know if it was the fan or going down the highway but made a huge mess. Looked black too, but it was from the dirt. Probably not your problem but thought I'd throw it out there.
