Hi guys put your thinking caps on,I just bought a truck with a 6v92 in it.
The truck was stored inside for about two years,the truck starts and runs fine,ran it up and then it started to lose a little water.Pulled the dip stick and alittle water was in the oil.
I dont think it is a head gasket,think that an o ring on one of the injectors is leaking.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks Lee 66 01 eagle |

Don't run the engine........ The water/ANTIFREEZE mixture will destroy the bearings and crankshaft !!!!!!!!! |

Do as Ken says. DO NOT RUN IT. One way to tell is to pull the oil pan and pressureize the cooling system with about 4 lbs of air so you can look up inside the engine and get an idea where the antifreeze is getting into the oil. It could be anything from a cracked block due to letting the engine freeze or one of the rubber rings under the head or cracked oil cooler. Maybe someone else might have another idea to help you as well. Bill |

Hello Lee
I would start off by looking in the radiator, and see if there is any oil in the cooling system. If the is, you have a bad oil cooler,as the oil preasure is greater than the coolant preasure, so the oil is forced in the cooling system, than when it is shut down, the coolant is under preasure, so the water will come back in the oil system.
If you do not have oil in the cooling system,--- Remove the valve covers, preasurize the cooling system, and look for water leeks around the injectors. This is probably not the problem, as the sleeve, will usually leek into the cylinder, and hydrolock the engine.
----- NEXT remove the oil pan, and look up inside the block, and see if the cylinder o-rings are leeking, or a cracked block, or what ever it might be.
We will hope for the best, least expensive, and easyist thing to repair.

Injector seals, one on each head, were leaking on mine. Lotsa money for a repair for a little piece of copper.
Was told that the pressure relief valve on the surge tank could have stuck and caused the leakage.
Replaced injectors and turbo at the same time to get a little more bounce.
Wasn't lots of water, but it was enough!

Thanks all for the input.
I think it most likey is the oil cooler but wont know untill i get it delivered.
The truck is a firetruck and was stored
inside a warm building at Kodak.
The outfit i bought it from was running it up to test the pump and found the problem on the run up,it had run with no problems before this.Ill know more this weekend as ill go to SC to inspect it.
I will have to drive it about 4 miles from the loading dock when it is delivered.dont have a choice in that.
Thanks again.
