Been stomping out little fires on my truck here lately. Down to the P0404 EGR I’ve fought for seven years and a chirp in the rear and oil/coolant loss.
It seems I’m losing a quart of oil every 600 miles and a gallon of coolant a month. No smoke from tail pipe except minute bit of whitish smoke at start up that’s over with pretty quickly. I was slightly getting warm but a new water pump, fan clutch and rad cap fixed that. I’ve pressure tested the cooling system and it’s fine now. Can’t find an oil leak anywhere nor any evidence of oil or coolant getting on the engine and burning while driving.
I’ve done all the at home DIY do I have a blown head gasket checks and it doesn’t seem to be. I did the block tester and the fluid stayed blue so I don’t seem to be getting exhaust fumes in the coolant so I’m lost.
Can’t remember the last time I replaced my PCV, could that be the perpetrator? Obviously for $30 I’ll try it but I’m just spitballing and trying anything.
