Any help would be great!

Buy the gasket set needed to repair the oil leak at the CCV. Clean up the oil that leaked down on everything. Pull the intake side hoses off the turbo and clean it out with brake cleaner. Put everything back together and clean the boost sensor with brake cleaner. Put it all back together. Change your fuel filter. Buy an aftermarket one from napa or big A. They are less expensive. Remember to hand prime the fuel filter after you change it so not to damage the fuel pump. Now run it like a rented mule for a hour or so. Then pull off the turbo intake side hoses and check for an oil leak. Make sure it is not the oil from the CCV. The oil from the CCV would be normal. It your turbo was leaking it would smoke heavy black smoke all the time. Take the suspension problem to a shop you trust. Any mechanic can fix your thumping problem. "Don't Trust the Dealers"!!!!!!!!
Good Luck. I now have 83,000 miles on my 2005 CRD. Runs Great.

What is the condition of the hose that keeps blowing off? Is the end soft and mushy? If so, then the hose(s) need(s) to be replaced. The CCV on top of the engine needs replacing every so many thousands of miles. If it gets clogged, then you may get an oil leak down the side of the engine and the engine does not idle as smoothly as it is able to.
As to the Amsoil, you can find it at www.amsoil.com.

Doh4,
I am surprised at your response concerning Darcars in Rockville. Are they the dealer near the Marlo furniture store? I purchased my CRD from them new in 2005 and they have always been reasonable and upfront with me.
Unfortunately, many of the parts you mention in your post are dealer only items and they are not cheap. Have you done the regular maintenance?

I walk on egg shells when discussing oil because of the tendency for arguments to break out when oil is discussed on any forum because of strong individual preferences. I will simply say that you can switch from 0W40 Mobil 1 to 5W40 Mobil 1 or to Rotella T 5W40 or Amsoil with out harming your engine. My CRD had a ticky lifter on Mobil 1 and it went away when I switched to Rotella T and did not come back. Maybe just coincedence.
When you buy synthetic oil at a retail store make sure the seal is not broken. That is the only way to make sure the product you are buying is what is actually in the container.

overfill oil?

Hi folks, it's been a while since I posted but I visit from time to time to read. Anywho, I got an oil change today at Walmart to save some money over the dealer's high costs. The report they gave me says they put in 6.9 Qts. I've now noticed. 1. Do you think that's too much? and 2. If so, how much should I have them drain out?
Thanks, craig

Craigs....... When you change your oil, always there will be old oil left over in the engine; I always put 6 Qts. the reason is that if you put extra oil you will be over the mark and that oil will end up as a blow by and if you do not have a Provent 200 all that oil will end up in your turbo cooler and in you VC.
