2020 1500 Ecodiesel Gen 3. I bought it new. I've put 8,000 miles on it. I now have an oil leak. Dealer looked this morning and oil leaking out of the turbo air intake line. They are digging into it deeper today. Anybody else have this issue?

Dealer had the truck for 6 days. After the mechanic gave it a once over, the service coordinator said the oil leak may have been caused by too much oil. They did the previous oil change so I was surprised he admitted that. The issue was in the turbo. The service report notes: "No DTCs, found oil getting into intercooler and leaking out of left intercooler tube. Removed oil separator housing for inspection and found camshaft seal coming out and leaking. Reinstalled seal." The service tech says they replaced the intercooler but that part isn't on the invoice. Only a piece of tubing that leads to intercooler - 68269545AA

Hopefully it was something simple like that. My new 2020 had an oil leak and was a defective engine block casting. Had to have an engine replacement but no problems since. I sure hope you do not have to go through that!!

Keep us updated.

Mxvet, wow, that must have sucked. Sorry to hear it. I'm just kicking myself I prepaid for 10 oil changes when I bought the truck. Hopefully, this won't happen again. Definitely visiting a different Ram dealer for future oil changes.
