I got a 2013 D13 and it has oil coming out from the blow by pipe, there's no code and everything is running normal. I have to add 2 gallons of oil when I run 2500 miles and oil everywhere under the truck and trailer.

If you are trying to keep running this truck till you have cash to do a eng. overhaul you can try adding lucus or any of the oil thickeners to keep the oil in it longer, but a broken or worn out part in motor is starting to show

How many miles on the truck? At 450k ish I had to replace the crankcase vent separator assembly. I was losing a lot of oil but once that was replaced I didn't lose much of any between oil changes
Good luck -
Can the separator unit be drained ????

I have a cat c13. My truck was doing the same thing. Took it to cat a month ago. I had a crack head. They did a platinum overhaul. But, before that I was using 4 to 6 gallons of oil between changes. I change my oil every 12k mi. If your fuel mileage is good and it's pulling. I would keep adding oil. It's cheaper, than a overhaul. Just my .02

for a temporary fix you can take a 1 inch rubber hose and loop it around from the inlet to the outlet of your crankcase filter then just run a hose from the valve cover down i know its a redneck fix but ive done it to a few with 600,000 + miles and they are still running good. Those crankcase oil separators are like $600-$700
