Re: Cat 3116 Excessive Oil Consumption Reply #50 – May 19, 2015, 12:44:00 am Hi, I'm a newbie greenhorn regarding the Foretravel, And in the process of find a U240, however two things crossed my mind that you may want to try before a lot of expense.1. Check your oil pressure, a high volume of oil will give a high oil pressure reading on the gauge and low pressure for insufficient oil. This is not a 100% method of accuracy but is a very good indicator as to level and a possible leak.2. I had a Gulf Stream MH with a Cumin's 5.9 Diesel, After adding oil regularly (Rotella) I was told I had a couple of oil seals leaking. There was no smoke and no visible sign of a leak to me, but loss of oil was a fact. A problem I was quoted $2500 to fix, which meant dropping the engine. After many hours of research I hit on the idea of adding a sealer to swell the seals back to original size. I spent $100 on a sealer I have just completed a 3000mile trip up the California and Oregon coast and back .. Hey presto no oil was used throughout the trip.This is the company I deal with and can only say good things about them and their product, Although the title refers to Head Gaskets it covers all leaks.PermaTech - Fast and Easy 2-Part Head Gasket Repair Sealer- Oil Stop-Leak..PermaTech - Fast and Easy 2-Part Head Gasket Repair Sealer- Oil Stop-Leak...
