Is this much oil normal And sorry it's the drivers side.

 

Not really.

You didn't let Phantomphixer change your oil, did you?

 

What would do that?

 

It's being sucked in from the Crankcase Ventilation tube....one end is attached to the air intake plastic pipe before turbo, other end at driver's valve cover.

 

We'll I'm new to most of this take stuff apart to fix something on this truck and when I come across something else that doesn't seem right I have to ask, I don't have the crank case vent re routed so I just didn't know if it was normal.


Thanks for the fast replies like always!

 

Here's another dumb question so I was told when I bought the truck it had the blue spring done. We'll I pulled it apart tonight and it was the old spring. We'll I got in a rush because I'm at work and only replaced the spring and gasket and threw it all back together. Should I be good with that or should I go back and replace the brass cup?

Thanks

 

The blue spring only stays blue for about 500 miles...

no thats not a normal amount of oil.. id be following the oil trail back to the source. like the others suggested.. pull the intake tube off and inspect it.. if you dont find a massive amount of oil there behind where the CCV tube enters the intake tube i would be highly looking at the turbo.. the compressor side oil seal has been known to fail.. if it the compressor seal youll usually find a pool of oil in the bottom of the compressor housing when you let the truck sit after shutting the engine down. youll be able to see it through the compressor output..

usually oil seal on the compressor goes due to people not properly cooling down the turbo after long trips or heavy pulls while towing..

 

Springs where a lot different in length

 

I will have to make a phone call this turbo has less then 9000 miles on it after being rebuilt

 

I was also think does over filling the oil have anything to do with excessive venting into that tube? I added 9100 to my oil and didn't compensate for it so I no the oil would have been running high.

 

wouldnt say alot.. but a slight one yes... about 1/8" if i remember right when i measured the difference while doing mine...

ive actually heard of some going bad after only 1500 miles because of that... not only does not allowing the turbo to properly cool down in the situations i mentioned tend to cook & sometimes even boil the oil that stays inside the turbo after shut down.. but it can also cook those seals as well since you wont have fresh cooler oil flowing past them preventing them from getting baked.. people tend to forget oil serves a dual purpose.. it doesnt just lubricate and clean the parts it runs by and between.. it also pulls away the damaging heat as well to help keep them cool.

not so much with what your seeing there in the CAC pipe.. over filling tends to damage things more like the oil pan seals or the main seals around the crank.. reason being... as the oil heats up like any liquid or gas it has the tendency to expand... when it expands it tries looking for a place to escape and starts pushing on those seals till they fail.. Also as a liquid gets warmer it also gets thinner it can also find places where the seals might not be perfect and slip through the cracks so to speak to escape.

usually where you start seeing excessive oiling coming from the CCV tube has more to do with the condition of your piston rings.. as your cylinder pressures build and the rings get older more pressure seeps around those rings and into the crankcase.. (healthy new engines do the same thing just in significantly less proportions). there is usually always vaporized oil floating around in the crankcase after it has been running for a bit. when the increased pressures find their way around those rings they start looking for a place to escape in the process of doing so itll pick up those oil vapors and push them up into the heads and then out through the CCV tube... as the engine wears youll see more and more oil tends to show up in that spot..

downside to a FAI engine... even with healthy rings the engines are prone to this problem with oil vapors being pushed into the intake through the CCV... Supercharged and turbo charged engines alike... if your finding a lot of oil in the preturbo intake tube you can always install a CCV filter to catch those particles.. thats what a lot of us have done on here.. I really hope you problem is just the CCV.. would hope yours isnt coming from the turbo...

 

Absolutely. If the crankcase is over filled the crankshaft counterweights whip the oil bath in the pan, causing oil spray in the crankcase which then gets sucked through the CCV tube into the intake.
There's reasons why it said Do Not Overfill.

 

Yeah I was thinking maybe that's what it is. From adding 14 and 9100, I'm going to drain some clean the tube, run it around awhile then pull it off and look again. Thanks
