Default RE: Falling engine oil level

Breather is damp inside but not a drop on the ground and the bottom of the truck is dry behind it. I will have to look at the intercooler lines but there is no external evidence seepage. All my Fords seeped like a mother because Ford doesn't vent to atmosphere, they use a PCV that lets the turbo suck the fumes out and reburn. Makes a real mess of everthing and fills the intercooler with oil, in extreme cases until it makes the engine run away.

I hope my turbo isn't taking a crap, I am like mister anul about cool down after running hard. I will find out tomorrow when I take a four hour trip pulling the camper at 70 MPH through rolling hills. Thanks for the insight, I'll post what happened when I get back.
