Charge air cooler/turbo problems

[cjkroodsma]

Had a leak in my charge air cooler. Took it to Cummins in Michigan. They verified the leaking intercooler and said it was caused by oil in the air charge air due to a faulty turbo. They were not real descriptive concerning the turbo problem. They are covering the turbo repair under warranty. Does Cummins cover the damaged CAC due to the turbo failure or am I just SOL. This is on a 2006 Holiday Rambler Scepter with the Cummins ISL 400HP. Engine has about 20,000 miles on it. I can only imagine this happening to an over the road trucker with only this many miles. I would imagine he would be ready to do great bodily harm to someone and I can say I am not very pleased myself. Any recommendations on further actions other than biting the bullet and paying for a new CAC and installation. Thanks

From past exper, I've never seen oil in a CAC when turbos fail, most cases
The oil goes out tail pipe and smokes like a coal train only the
smoke is blue . Unless you put your finger in the tube of the CAC and
felt an oil residue , I would get 2nd opinion or find somebody
that can flush it.

Just my thought
