Dissapearing Oil
 
Ok, question time. I'm having an oil loss problem. About once a week or so i find im a half quart low on oil. I can find no visible leak where i would be losing oil,no puddles under my truck. I run Amsoil 15-40 HD diesel,and i have not done anything of high towing or hauling capacity rescently.
The truck is in my sig.
Thanks in advance for any clues:pca1:

watch your oil pressure guage. check the drain tube for the turbo, old rubber= dry rot.

Oil pressure gauge not fluctuating up or down any more than usual. The drain tube should leave a puddle if its messin up,right?
Thanks for the input,ill check that tube tonight.

I would check your tailpipe, see if it's oily. If it is, it means your turbo seals could be letting oil by. Could also be coming out of the blow-by tube. Look at the bottom of your truck, especially the trans pan and see if it's coated in oil.
