If you have diesel in the LubeOil, then look for a leaky Mechanical
Fuel Pump Diaphram, or a blown seal in the Injector Pump......


How old is this engine? There's always some diesel in the lube oil,
especially in an old engine with loose rings.

If the lube oil RISES....then we have a problem.

Some diesel makes it past the rings, expecially when she's cold and blue
smoking. It's why we change the oil often....

I don't like to just pull the dipstick and look at the level in any diesel.
They all should USE a little oil between changes. But, you can REPLACE the
lube oil with diesel in a perfectly normally working engine...The level
stays relatively constant....not good.
