Is it normal for the crankcase tube to be pushing a good bit of smoke out of it while it is running? Also I get some oil dripping out from time to time. How much is to much oil because there is oil covering everything under the crankcase tube. I know its just a drip because ive seen it drip and i dont lose hardly any oil between oil changes. Ive had the truck for about 2 years and i know its been doing it ever since ive had it. I'm now just getting around to asking you guys. Thanks for the help guys!!!

 

How many miles are on it? How much oil drips out of it?

The guy who owned my truck before me let it idle a lot, so it pushed some smoke out the breather tube when it's idling but it still runs perfect. I lose a few drips of oil out of the breather tube. Its just a normal thing with a diesel. My truck only has 66,000 miles on it and it leaks

 

My truck has 177,xxx on it. It might drip a drip of oil once in a while.

 

In my opinion that's just fine

 

Thanks for your reply! That eases my mind.

 

No problem!

 

I have 160,300 Once in a while I get a drip or two sounds like your ok!

 

mine also does it. its got 230 thousand miles on it. it leaves about an inch spot of oil but it leaks from somewhere else
