Just because there is no coolant in oil doesn't rule out possible head gasket. Coolant might be going into the cyl and being burned. White smoke????

No visual sign of a leak?

Check your EGR crossover tube.Buddy had a small crack in his letting coolant into intake and being burned off ever so slightly.He did throw a code however.There have been a few others that have failed as well

no white smoke that i can c i did have my egr blocked off and i was thinkin that is where the leak is but the motor is dry and there are no puddles under my truck so i know its not leakin out so mayb it is burning it slightly

Had a waterpump leak, only hot and never left puddles, only 20 thousand miles.

My truck has been doing the same thing for about 10,000 miles no water in oil no visible white smoke and no clue were the coolant is going. As of yesterday my low oil pressure gauge started coming on randomnly wich is scary if you find a awnswer to this mystery let me know and ill do the same


Thanks Bryan Sanchez
