Pulled the turbo then exhaust mani off because of leaky exhaust manifold gaskets and every exhaust port had oil leaking through the guides and out into the turbo and dpf.
I will stick a picture or two with this post, seemed like the #2-#4 cyl had the worst signs of oil leaking through the valve seals, but every cyl has oil popping out.
How bad is this issue with the 2012/13 isx motors?
Sounds like it is a known issue but cummins will not acknowledged it is a issue on these motors, am I partially correct or wrong?
I cant wait to pull the head and see what other worse issues I will or should expect to find.
Any input will be much appreciated...
Basically every cylinder exhaust port looks like in these two pics, was hard to get a good snap shot of what I see.
The turbo has a nice fresh oil coating to it obviously
extremely common - i do 2-3 of these every couple of weeks. Cummins has a valve stem seal update that solves 90% of the issues.
