"Usually" injector seals. I'd start there.
Hello,
Before anyone starts to say anything, yes I DID search the files to find an answer to my question, but I didn’t find anything.
Problem, Over full sump.
My Guess: diesel diluting oil. Definitely no water.
Cause Cracked head, seals on injectors?
ALL oil changed every 10,000Kms. Motor is totally stock apart from EGR removed.
Never over filled, ever. What could be the cause? The current oil has done about 8000Kms.
Hopefully there is a foto of the dipstick, finger crossed.
Thanks for the replies

Is it dangerous to drive like this?

Bad for the crank and big ends and mains.
And possibility of engine runaway with that much diesel in your sump!
I wouldn't be driving it at all until injector seals were done.

Thanks for the advice. I am in Forster and need to drive back to wodonga. So I’ll drop the oil and put fresh in. Will that be sufficient for 3 days?

Generally, the first thing to "let go" will be the turbo, as undiluted oil to that is pretty important.
Definitely, as you say, change the oil, and keep an eye on it for the trip home.
The old method suggested by Rick 130 of the droplet on the business card works well ( rainbow around the droplet means diesel )
I got called in to see one at a local workshop last year that had 21 litres drained out of the sump without having a runaway, surprisingly.
It was a very clean engine.
Thanks to everyone for the replies!
The oil will be changed tomorrow, I would like to do the filters as well but it seems that there are none available here, but will ring around the shops in the morning just in case of the online store thing has it wrong.
A big thank you for the oil on the business card trick. I will try that in the morning, thats if we haven’t been blown away during the night.
Thank you everyone!!
