Intake Manifold may be a common problem in 5.9/5.2, but the oil that may leak into the intake would go to the same place and result in the same burn off that should be present in the exhaust...
I would perform the compression test, it will tell you what condition your engine is in and help eliminate the guessing game.

I thought it would go away after a long running like other motors but it has always stayed the same. The fact that it when being a hot runner during towing and using MORE oil during which to me means tight motor not to mention a slight tint to the FS oil after only 800 miles.
It would be a good idea to check it and I will but that I really think is not the problem. Theres no evidence to back up the burning of it unless it's atomized really good.

hey hydrashocker,
i got a similar issue with my 5.9l D here in Saudi - good looking plugs and no evidence of oil pooling in the plenum or external oil leak. oil consumption is higher after a long hot run. the exhaust does look a little sooty but not excessively so, although the oil consumption is not high enough to really cause smoke. compression is good and new rings were put in at the rebuild about 3 years and 80,000km ago. one of the heads was replaced at the time but the other one is still the original on a 1999 D with nearly 200,000km on the clock.
did you solve your leak..if so what was it...??

My PCV valve was stuck open. I replaced it and am awaiting the results.
I haven't driven it very much lately but I think this weekend I'll give it a go about. Besides, I just found a vacuum leak I gotta fix. It's located on the throttle body right in front by the MAP sensor. The heating and cooling of the rubber that goes to the ridged black plastic line that goes to the firewall on the drivers side.
