OH NO! My engine puking oil up close to a turbo!
I had the oil changed a few weeks ago after a week I noticed oil on garage floor. At first thought it was a few small drips from residual oil from the oil change took it back to lube joint and they cleaned and wiped and check filter etc everything was OK. After a few days I was getting a lot more oil on garage floor. Went back to lube place a few hours ago and it looks like leaking from the turbo area on driver side. I am down about a half quart in 2 weeks. Called dealer and it will be going in Monday morning good news still under factory warranty in that I have 33,000 miles.
Any ideas on problem? I hope it's nothing major in that I almost traded a month ago but decided to drive this truck for the long haul.

You should be able to identify the source since it was cleaned off recently

I don't have an eco and don't know where the turbos are but I don't on a lot of OEM turbos the oil feed line had a banjo bolt and sometimes that needs to be tightened, rotated or sometimes there's a screen in there that gets gummed up.

That's exactly what I'm describing. Usually you can get in there with a 10mm or whatever and tighten it up

Check the inlet and outlet connections...either one can leak, but usually the inlet on top. You don't have any decrease in performance lately, right?

Best way to look at the turbos is through the fender well over the tire...
