hello all. long time no post. need your help. i am not sure where i am losing oil. i keep and about a 1/4 qt every 300 miles or so. I do not see big plumes of while driving only slight plumes at cold start and sometime and warm start. i changed out the glow plugs recently and number 3 was saturated with diesel, so im guessing i have a leaky injector. the intercooler does seems to have some oil in it. but at the rate i am losing it. i had catastrophic failure about three years ago, my injector broke off and torn the cylinder apart and decided to rebuild the engine. also got a rebuilt turbo, i know i know but was assured by the mechanic he has used other rebuilt turbos by the same person including his own alh, and tested the shaft seems to have no play. i was on here one time when i was changing my oil in the cold and a piece of th funnel broke off into the valve cover. tried taking the cover off and found one piece but not the other. i tried flushing it out but no go and after like two oil changes some black stuff came out. also i try hyper mile to save fuel. at warm up i shift under 2900 rpm and **** at 3100 rpm after it warms up. i drive like this all the time. i am giving this history to maybe shed some light on why i am going through so much oil.
