d13 oil leak from back side of the engine

Emilko Is the motor still pulling, regenining with this oil consumption ?
If the motor is not busted, could be turbo leaking, last year I got a wrong turbo installed on my truck, was still pulling ok, but losing oil .
Here I still have a photo on my phone, i'm photo turd was leaking from flex pipe down the frame, and on cold side also towards intercooler/air to air. Open the flex pipe clamps, but the hot side won't tell you if comes from motor or turbo, I'm thinking if you open one of the clamps out of turbo cold side, look for oil than you'll know is turbo. I'm guessing you drove on I-15, turbo was working hard, lots of hills to pull.
Don't drive it , this oil ends up in DPF filter, clogging it bad. You'll need a new filter also. I drove mine with blown turbo bearing for 100 miles, bobtail with zero boost and filled up the dpf filter with oil, i had to buy new one on top of turbo bill, was beyond cleaning.

 

Thank you. Truck is in the shop now. I did mention to tech everything you said and also asked to do the compression test. Will see with what they come up.

 

What was the problem?

 

Sadly, most of the time people come on here for help and then take the advise and run with it. They don’t return the courtesy and report back the fix

 

timing plate job is about a week of work.

leak is most likely the timing plate. but can be the upper cover also.

Is the timing plate on the back of the engine? How much do you guys think it is labor and parts?

 

I can’t tell if it’s the timing plate. These shops up here just brush me off. I’m trying to stay away from the dealership. I can see the oil stains on the gear/ timing plate right by the EGR valve. Any opinions? Here’s a pic

 

Mine is in the dealer right now for the timing plate....24 hours labor and 2K in parts...ouch.....

 

Which dealership ship is doing the job? Dealership in Seattle say 40hr job $2900 in parts but they don’t know what parts I need plus $250 shop supplies What year is your truck make model? I’m Afraid there going to say I need a whole bunch of work done so they can warranty the work for 1 year only truck has 475k

 

Nextran in Florida, Have a 2014 Volvo 780 D13 with 448k miles...they always say you need more...I will tell you since they had the tranny out I asked them to install a new clutch actuator (i shift) it was not quite to the wear point where it should be changed but a lot cheaper to do now then have it all taken apart again.

Nextran does provide a detailed quote with all the parts and the shop supplies...hurts like he** but at least you know going in what to expect. Now I'm not happy with how long its taking to get done but as long as it's done right....
