My truck is blowing enough steam out of the vent tube so that it drips almost as much as the a/c condensation.
Last Friday night the hose that goes from the block to the air compressor and dumped all the water. I heard the engine fan come on at 210 degrees so I killed the motor and coasted as far as I could. It never got any hotter than that, so I would think sleeves.
Now I have all the coolant hoses and filter changed and now it is steaming like a freight train through the vent tube out of the valve cover and out of the oil fill tube if it is removed while running.
I took the oil cooler off today to take it to cat to have them test it.
No visible oil in water (milk) just steam for now.
If there is any other ideas I am open for them. Thanks in advance.
The truck is a international 8100, with 420K miles.

Don't forget it could be the air compressor, if it's the original one, it's about time for it to break. Could be as simple as a leaking air compressor head gasket.

Oil cooler was toast. I could turn the veins by finger. It when all at once, the last used oil analysis was good.

I have 2007 9900i international eagle
The engine has extrem blow by
Crankcase vent blowing out a foot long steam of steam and smells to me really strong but to no ones else
Also engine is pushing oil out of valve cover and any seal through out the motor
I told my boss its makeing me sick
Its all i can taste
Bad headaches
Chest thraot lungs sore
Today i was seviceing it and guess since i spent 7 days in truck breathing this
I can t even go near the vent the taste intensifies i feel it in my skin
But everyone says they do not smell it
Only one guy said he kinda smelt it
This ever happened to anyone -
try extending the crankcase breather hose further beneath the cab. I have a customer with a high mileage mack engine that the fumes made him feel sick. I extended the breather hose behind the cab using a 1 inch diameter tube. Make sure the tube is angled down to allow any oil to drain.
