UPON RETURNING FROM A SHORT DRIVE I NOTICED OIL ON THE GROUND...HAD TRUCK TOWED TO LOCAL FORD DEALER ...WHEN INSPECTED I WAS INFORMED THE SELF CLEANING EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSED THE RINGS TO WEAR PREMATURELY AND BUILD PRESSURE IN THE CRANKCASE CAUSING OIL TO SPEW OUT ANY OPENING IE THE DIPSTICK TUBE. A DIESEL ENGINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTED TO LAST 2-3 TIMES THE 165,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK.
