[QUOTE="tytower, post: 764316, member: 2399"] There is one thing I can think of to consider What has the usage been like in the previous 6-12 months? If its been unused ,could the lower sections of the bores have rusted and destroyed the oil control rings when started? Fix for that is to take the injectors out and pour a couple of cups of diesel into each cylinder ,leave for a day and slowly turn over by hand,well a spanner or crank might be easier actually. Could condensation inside the motor have put a lot of water in the oil?If so it would probably boil off quickly and after the oil is topped up useage would reduce dramatically. the oil would be milky grey. Could a leaking head gasket have put water in the oil while you used it previously? Where does your hydraulic system get its oil? Does it draw from the engine ? probably not but if it did it might be leaking. Is there any coming out of the bottom of the bell housing? That might tell you the rear oil seal is worn and oil coming out going uphill or if operated pointed downhill maybe the front oil seal is shot.Is the oil filter on tight. Some motors leak oil in a big way from the turbo bearings or compressor bearings if fitted. Thats about all I can think of [/QUOTE]
