    290,000 km ( 181,000 miles). 2016 Cascadia.
    Noticed a bit of stuff in coolant last weekend but couldn't identify what if was. Kind of gummy.
    But this weekend there is a whole bunch, and now it smells like diesel.
    I do have extended warrranty.

    post this issue on DTNA Solution. I guess DTNA has found cheap supplier of this O-rings. Extended warranty is good but downtime is expensive too. Let DTNA engineers/designers and fat ### bosses see this.

    I second that. Curious minds want to know. I'm almost at that mileage where Injector Cups become a concern...

    find a time and replace them. if they start leaking you will pay 2x more.

    Truck is getting fuel injector seals replaced this coming week. Will throw in injector cups at the same time.
