    Coolant loss is likely the egr cooler and this has been going on too long now. Oil is very gunky, but doesn't look like direct coolant contamination. EGR cooler failures do allow coolant into the oil from the intake air and combustion process past the rings. It is normal to see some steam and some blowby coming out the crankcase breather, that is what it is there for. That does look a bit more than normal, but depends on current weather conditions and how much moisture is inside the engine. I know you said you are scrapping it, but if you are joking, there is a blow by test for these.

    If it is an expensive fix, we are scrapping it. Im not the owner so I wont be making the final decision. Need it to fight for 2 more weeks before we can take it out of service. Going to get oil changed hopfully that buys me some time. Will post what ends up being wrong with it when we finally get it looked at.

    I have driven a lot of Maxxfarce engines, I have never seen that much come out of the breather. Years ago the old Detroits would look like they were on fire from the breather, but the modern engines don't do that as much anymore.

    Maxxfarce; I saw what you did there.
    I had a situation with the oil going in the coolant,
    just mucked up the bottle, and I kept driving and filling,
    till I saved enough for a new short-block from Cat.
    You or your boss could do the same.

    Isn’t that the usual issue with those Maxxfarts?

    100% failure rate. Not a matter of if, it's a matter of when!
