I can't seem to figure out exactly what is going on with this thing. Started about 2 months ago, I noticed the oil level is down a gallon, without any of the normal signs of oil consumption . I topped it off and it didn't lose any oil for about a month, and then when the temperature started dropping below freezing it started losing about a quart every tank or 300 miles. That was when the exhaust started to actually show some blue and white. I originally suspected the turbo, but I have an exhaust leak at the manifold and I can also see blue and white exhaust coming out of it when engine is cold. After the engine warms up the exhaust clears up completely including any little blow by out of the oil fill. She does not feel down on power at all, if anything I would say she has picked up some power with the colder temperatures.
When I checked the oil today after about 300 miles, it wasn't down a drop. But the exhaust is still bluish white on cold starts. I have no idea what to check now lol.
