A possible problem

Everything you need to know about engine oil.

Spôôk I have a feeling that somehow my engine oil is being topped up with diesel from the tank. It is a cdti bmw engine. (131) How damaging can this be ? What a great article. Chaselpaso.

Best to start a separate thread as this isn't really the place for problems, and you will probably get more people looking that way too. ;)

If your engine oil level is rising, then you could have a leak on the front seal of the HP fuel pump. This is chain driven from the first cam chain, so any leakage ends up in the sump.

You need to sort this, as if it gets worse and the oil level gets too high, it can get injested into the intake.

The risk then is that the engine runs away with itself to destruction. :getmecoat:

I can't see anyone getting offended Chaselpaso. :D

The important thing is you getting your car sorted. Have you fixed it yet? :shrug:

Sorry if this reply is rather old but I did say I was over 80. Took it to Jules and the problem was rectified. Turned out he was a J/T in the RAF as I was. Those Camels were hell to work on. Thanks for the interest. Chas.
