- Mon Aug 04, 2008 9:07 pm #64646 Hello everyone and thank you for a great forum! I'm new to this forum from finland. I have a little problem with my D15B7 engine, it uses very much oil, I can't pinpoint any certain places where it might leak. Exhaust gases look like normal so it shouldn't burn the oil at least ? Does anyone have any ideas ?

- Tue Aug 05, 2008 3:29 pm #64775 Sounds reasonable. Tomorrow I can start opening the engine, so I will found out tomorrow. Would it be wiser to just take the whole engine out and six it or replace it if the problem is bigger than that ?

- Wed Aug 06, 2008 1:06 am #64833 Nice, that is good idea. I check the compression before I explode the whole machine

- Wed Aug 06, 2008 1:52 am #64838 might as well do a leak down test too, to see where its going.
