    Diesel dilution of the oil.

    IF you must drive it like this, pull the crank vent line from the rocker to the intake from the intake side, tape the inlet and then run a chunk of hose from the manifold down to the ground. IF the dilution gets excessive this helps prevent a runaway. Its not a guarentee however as the seals failing on the turbo will pump enough in for the engine to run away on anyway.

    IT might help to run slightly thicker oil to counter the dilution in the early stages.

    Thanks for all the replies, Oil and filters have been changed. I got out about 11-12 litres out of sump, not good. However it now is full of oil with no diesel, so should be good to drive, but will be keeping a very close eye on it till i get it fixed. Thanks to all the participants you are a great bunch!.
