    My star just started going through antifreeze I'd say 2 liters a day. It's a Detroit series 60. No visible leaks, no white smoke, no noticeable rise in oil I've sent away an oil sample not back yet. I took off the exhaust from bellows pipe to dpf looks good. I have a homemade bottle on the rad tank overflow it doesn't seen to be pushing any out there. Any suggestions..

    Could be the EGR cooler. That won't smoke like a headgasket would.

    Tks I'm going to get the egr to cooler checked this morning. I guess these engines are also known for the intake side manifold cracking. That might be next..
