It's the same part that Grant had changed. Chuck sent me a pm on it.

chuckdoc · « **Reply #101 on:** September 02, 2010, 09:00:42 PM »

Yup, they gave me the old part. There has to be some hose clogged. But I have no idea what or where.

I would take it back next week.

are ya`ll sure the oil is not coming from the turbo (seals) a blown turbo on a big rig will run on the oil in the ic,always a bad thing.we have them cleaned by a radiator shop

chuckdoc · « **Reply #104 on:** September 03, 2010, 11:19:05 AM »

No actually I asked them to consider the turbo seal. I think that is it so that will be the next step. It may be cheaper to just put in a new engine. Very frustrating. Another missed work day. Only good thing is the dealer is next to a War between the states battlefield, so I can explore while I wait. It is one in which the good guys one.

Have them give you a new engine. Sell it and get the V8 DIY kit from Werks.

Chuck Did the dealer do a dye test in your Oil .Its in mine now and tuesday they use Black light to locate where the oil is coming from.

Oh I had to drive it for a week .that started last Monday Good Luck

chuckdoc · « **Reply #107 on:** September 06, 2010, 03:37:08 PM »

No, do not have an oil leak. Have a oil burn problem.

1LILNDN · « **Reply #108 on:** September 06, 2010, 08:25:52 PM »

could it be a leak dripping on the Exhaust and burning off ?
I
what if its oil in the ICP being pulled into the turbo and out the pipe. Took the hose off at the turbo
on mine
ell and it was loaded with OIL . I was blowing out of the tail pipe to.

Critterman · « **Reply #109 on:** September 06, 2010, 08:27:05 PM »

Coming from inside the pipes

Here's an update on oil in the PCV line.

I got the fuel line tool, popped the PCV line, it looked dry. Now it's been a while since I first saw oil around there so there's a chance it got all sucked out by now. I blew air into it both directions and the check valve was doing it's job.

I am givingnup, will take it to the dealer next we'd and tell him to keep it until the problem is solved!

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #112 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:14:06 PM »

Chuck,

Sorry I didn't get back sooner, someone's spoiler and mud flaps had me busy all weekend.

Not sure what's next. I don't think it would be a turbo seal as the intercooler didn't have oil in it. Sure it was a bit dirty. My next thing would be to check the compression of the cylinders. Duck1313 had some knock and smoke on the GMPP+Westers too. He said since he's been off the Westers for some time, it has been fine. Not sure on the corelation of the two but we know that oil can cause detonation. The difference between yours and Duck1313, is that you're still smoking since it was reverted back to GMPP.

Kelu · « **Reply #113 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:19:41 PM »

Joe: how is his AFR?
Any oil consumption over time?
How is his knock?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #114 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:21:05 PM »

Oil could be leaking through the exhaust side of the turbo past a seal. You would get the smoke and there would be no trace of oil in the intake. The oil can combust in the exhaust and give the smoke that you are seeing.

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #115 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:22:48 PM »

Ahh, makes sence. He had a 13+ knock when I scanned it last. We then reverted his back to GMPP. Sounded like a bag of nuts thrown under the hood. Don't know the AFR

Kelu · « **Reply #116 on:** September 07, 2010, 01:23:52 PM »

That's not good.

chuckdoc · « **Reply #117 on:** September 07, 2010, 04:06:29 PM »

No knock on gmpp tune! Oil apparently lowered the octane. Still very very frustrated as it is so darn intermittent. Worried I will take it to the dealer and no smoke. Last time in, the darn thing would not smoke and after 1 1/2 hour drive. That is the worst

I would not mind paying for an engine rebuild, but hate to spend the same money on just diagnoses.

Uranium-238 · « **Reply #118 on:** September 07, 2010, 04:30:26 PM »

So buy a V8 instead.

chuckdoc · « **Reply #119 on:** September 07, 2010, 04:50:26 PM »

Nobody I know has any experience with an automatic transmission conversion and do not wish to pay for ojt!

Are you going to keep it automatic?

chuckdoc · « **Reply #121 on:** September 07, 2010, 05:46:51 PM »

Dave, waiting for a diagnoses. Hate to decide without enough facts.

Critterman · « **Reply #122 on:** September 07, 2010, 07:14:19 PM »

spoiler owner thanks you Joe.

Chuck,
compression and leakdown test should be next.

chuckdoc · « **Reply #123 on:** September 15, 2010, 10:52:54 AM »

At the dealer, toebitus nailed it! It is blown turbo seals. They are replacing turbo.
Hopefully, this is the end of this saga!
