Hi Ed,
My Old Stroke 1994 7.3 I.D.I. Turbo recently has been putting diesel in the oil pan! So, injectors are suspected to be the cause. Do you know about how to trouble shoot which injector or injectors are the cause? Such as a die additive? Currently, I’ve been draining off the excess and adding fresh oil but this is just a bandage and not the cure. What do you think we should do? And if we put the dye in do you have the black light to show the root cause? I don’t have either.

P.S. Nice website Dude!
Hi Dave. I’m more familiar with heavy duty diesels but one time I had a c-12 caterpillar I was doing an oil change on and it overfilled the oil pan I normally use by a couple gallons. very runny oil too, came out like water. To figure out where the fuel was coming from I took the valve cover off and ran the engine (with fresh oil) and used a flashlight to see it was leaking fuel where the o ring seals between the injector and the cup in the head. it was flowing up and then running down into the crankcase. im not sure on those 7.3 if they have high pressure fuel lines straight to the injectors. if they do it could be an injector stuck open which could be pinpointed in an injector cutout test. if it has a gear driven high pressure fuel pump it could be the seal on the pump shift. I do not have dye, but thanks for the compliment on the website
