1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.

4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

Symptom	Possible Sources	Action
Loss of oil	Oil leaks on components that are either coated in oil themselves or on components local to them.	CHECK for evidence of oil leaks on components. Use an ultraviolet (UV) leak tester if an oil leak is not evident. INSTALL new gaskets or components as required.
	Internal or external leak at the oil cooler.	CHECK the coolant expansion tank for a film of oil on the coolant surface. INSTALL a new oil cooler or oil cooler gasket
	Leak at the crankshaft seal.	INSTALL a new crankshaft seal.
	Leaks from oil carrying components or basic engine.	CHECK for cracks in oilcarrying components of the basic engine by means of a UV leak test. INSTALL new components or seals as necessary.
Oil consumption	Use of the wrong type of engine oil.	DETERMINE the last type of engine oil used and compare with the specification. Change the engine oil to the specification.
	Faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system. Hoses or ventilation or breather valves are blocked. This causes excessive pressure in the crankcase which causes more oil to enter the combustion chamber.
