Seriously. It probably needs an oil cooler and all of the usual parts for an coolant contamination situation.LOL....yep till the rod comes out the block

Wouldn't you expect the water to come out of the drain plug first? Assuming you changed the oil when cold, couldn't tell from the original post.
For the past year, dealers have been replacing the whole EGR unit on recall for Ecodiesels 2014-2019.
While this happens, it is less than 10%. (Yeah I know 10% is probably about 10,000 engines and is unacceptable.) I have been a member of both EcoDiesel Forums since 2014 and read it all. So far I have been a part of the 90% of owners that have had outstanding trucks.
Vern is another one.....

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then. Used properly it will determine if there is a cooling system leak.not really as a pressure loss can go elsewhere.
It would have indicated a leak, that's the point I was trying to make. Then the OP would not have had to wait on oil analysis, the pressure test in his case would have showed he had no problem with a cooling system leak, internally or externally. If a pressure test indicates there's a leak, the next step is to find it, visual inspection, check the oil, pull plugs, etc....yes, but to the oil? could be external, could be to the intake or to the exhaust. In this case no coolant was found in the oil sample so even if you found a pressure loss it would not have pointed to a leak towards the sump. Also, unless this car has a variable displacement oil pump, most of the time the oil circuit would be higher pressure than the coolant circuit, you'd be likely to find an oily mess in the expansion tank.

Didn't even know a pressure test was available.... Should have done that. Thanks for the tip.
End of the day, my EcoDiesel is running like a top, especially with the GDE tune. Love the truck, even with 130k miles on her.
