Been working out of town for a while and I just got back home to continue work on my deuce.
Decided to degrease the engine to see where any leaks are. The engine was painted black by the govt over the top of the standard green.. Degreaser took off the black paint. Also degreased the top of the front axle ( assumed slobber tube that is a little short made the mess) Fired her up and let idle at 1250 20 min and then at idle for 20 min. Noticed oil dripping on the axle to find it is coming from the exhaust side of turbo where the pipe attaches to it. Thought I would see oil coming from the stack but none. ( the truck is parked 3 ft from my shed with white siding so I would notice it) Oil level is fine with no smell of fuel or coolant. Is this normal to leak from extended idle? Must have been like this when the gov owned it because top of starter had old oil mixed with dirt on top of it.
Any thoughts?
btw it is not pouring out and it is black as coal
