Default my engine

blew turbos in april, had them replaced. been having massive oil and coolant issues ever since, oil pressure warnings, smoke out the back, basically has been undrivable ever since.

had cam tensioner seals, cam seals, valve covers all replaced at dealer among a bunch of other bs things they thought was causing the problem. i insisted there was coolant getting in the oil, they denied that multiple times. figured it was rear main or head gasket, took it somewhere else and this is what we are looking at now.

Default Did you ever send off for an oil analysis?

Presuming this is a modern oil, I can't imagine it is anything other than coolant in the oil.
