'02 7.3 Ford keeps having low oil
My dad's '02 F250 with the 7.3 liter diesel has shut down twice in the last couple of months with low oil. There are no signs of leaking and no signs of burning either. The tail pipe is clean. Just had emmisions and is clean. No dripping in garage. I am lost on where the oil is going. It has lost 6 quarts in 600 miles. Anybody who has seen this or knows where the oil could be going? Help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you. -Adam

Put flourescent dye in the oil, or get a service tech to do it. It will be much easier to locate the leak this way.
I have no idea where the oil could be leaking if it passed emissions and the coolant looks fine. My guess of course would be an internal leak or a blown seal of somekind maybe at the back of the engine.
