Yep that's right Ron. All diesels do get fuel dilution to some degree. On the larger marine engines I used to work on with oil analysis program in place the limit was 5% before we changed the oil if a scheduled change wasn't due.
Doing a lot of short trips is bad for oil dilution, as well is a leaking injector or the high pressure fuel pump.
