Problem
Some low pressure turbochargers on 3516 and 3516B Engines used in 793, 793B and 793C Trucks have had failures that resulted in rotation of the turbocharger bearing housing. If this occurs the turbo oil supply line or oil drain line may become disconnected from the turbo bearing housing. If the engine continues to run with an oil line disconnected, oil will run out on the engine.
