    You may want to get it to a cat dealer. Sounds like it is inframe time, if there are no visible leaks. Last thing you want is to loose a rod and wipe out a crank or block.

    Thanks , it's getting rebuilt as of two days ago !!
    Part of the problem was we had to replace a oil cooler
    and it started coming apart!! Aftermarket one by the way!!
    It lasted about two month, before we started notice it in the oil filfilter

    thanks for the input
