Hey guys i have a 120hp ford lehman diesel in a MarineTrader with 300hrs on a rebuilt engine and i have been getting diesel in the oil pan. Just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them. Having a mechanic come out monday and wondering if anyone could give us a point in the right direction before he starts ripping everything apart.

Thanks in advance,
Stan

Among other things check the diaphragm in the engine driven fuel pump
(although this usually results with an oil pan full of diesel).
