checking oil right after shut down.

Nic · Sep 22, 2014

I noticed a few oil speckle spot on my exhaust. Thought it might be the ccv, but nope. Noticed I have a little oil leak on the front of the motor by the crank. Not bad but starting to leave a few drops over night. I just checked the oil and there wasn't any on the stick. I have less than 2k on the oil. I just had a compression check done about 6 months ago and it was perfect across the board. The truck doesn't smoke at all and doesn't seem to act funny. Sounds fine runs fine. The ccv is a little hazy but that's normal. Any ideas?

It sounds to me like it could possibly be a turbo seal starting to leak.

Why would you be checking oil right after shutdown? It takes at least 5-10 minutes to get a good oil level reading

waiting 5-10 minutes wont make the difference of none on the stick to full.

Well I waited about 2 minutes and it came up to the minimum mark. And it better not be a seal. They're brand damn new 71/59s. Not even 7k miles on em

Chit happens. I've got maybe 3,000 miles on my current turbo setup and it's leaking oil outta the exhaust housing.
