    Now that's just insane. The turbo leak was the worst part of what was wrong with my truck. Gasket was completely shot and I noticed 2 bolts missing. Have a feeling somebody forgot to put them back in or didn't get them tight. But that much blow by is no excuse. Although I have to say with some of the things I've seen idling away it doesn't surprise me. Every diesel is going to have some blow by I don't see much out of mine. My dads is getting questionable at 700k+ BT I've seen them parked where there's nothing but smoke coming out of that pipe. Just have to shake my head.

    Your assumption is probably correct. I had a Prostar that constantly had exhaust leaks and the are hard to track down but you can clearly smell them. Exhaust leaks are one of the points I made in needing a CO detector/alarm. Hopefully you dont have to idle the truck while sleeping.

    If you smell exhaust constantly you need to contact breakdown and get routed in to a terminal. Don't waste time here, go get it fixed.

    Most likely on the prostar it is the muffler bearing...lol

    But seriously, get it fixed..
