I have a diesel ride and here are some of the observations:
1. Oil level increases significantly after a month or so because of fuel contamination. About 4 liters of fuel is being added to the engine oil after 2 months.
2. No overheating.
3. White smoke during start-up, but decreases after a few minutes of driving.
4. With the raiadtor cap removed, water spews out.
5. Water level in the radiator remains the same.
6. No oil traces in the radiator coolant.
Weird?

it's not weird at all if you start thinking that there is not one problem but several at the same time. consider the sysptoms individually or group logically and go from there. sabi nga, when confused, keep the solution simple.
1 -- you have a leaking injector. rectify this right away since diluted oil leads to premature wear.
2-6 -- there is a very small leak on the cylinder head gasket BUT it is a leak only between one cylinder to a water passage. that is why there is no oil in the water. since the leak is small, probably just a gasket that is not seating right, then when the engine warms up it seals itself close. this is why the white smoke disappears after the engine warms up and the engine does not overheat. don't wait for the leak to grow bigger. have the cylinder head removed and checked.

October 18th, 2006 09:46 PM #5The Fuel injection pump is being lubricated by the high pressure engine oil. When the seals of the pump wear out, the higher pressure of the diesel injection contaminates the oil. So it is the diesel fuel intrusion that increases the volume of oil within the engine. Diesel fuel does not have the additives of the lubicant much less the right viscosity of oil. Prolong use will lead to worn out bearings that will lead to spun bearing. DISASTER.
Check your oil and it is thinner(less viscous) than what it is supposed to be.

owner naman naoverhaul kasi napabayaan ang fuelpump...lumiyab at nadisplace ang oil, so machine shop!
cause: oilseal ng fuel pump leaked!
3au owner po namin.wag mo na paabutin sa ganun.
