yeah that is the the standard answer and the same one I would give to my question, but you would almost have to see what it is doing. No water in oil in block. It is drinking oil and pouring it in to cooling system somehow. I am no diesel expert, but was thinking oil cooler...don't know where it is on Cummins though?

Hey hottwheels,

Take it to the dealer. That is a warranty issue being its new and the low miles.
