I have a 2016 Ecodiesel and in the course of replacing my thermostat saw oil on this tube. Photo is from below. The big hose is wet and the lower hose soaked. Is this telling me my turbo isn’t doing so well?
Second issue is oil on the bottom of this oil cooler. Is that common? Thanks

If there is oil outside the engine, there is a problem.

You may want to go to Ecodiesel Forum and search and post this. U have a Gen II TRUCK and they would be better to answer your question. There was a lot of issues on the EGRs etc on Gen II motors. Gen 2 as in Gen 2 ED motor.
