He probably refering to, check your oil dipstick to see if the oil is way overfilled, as if the injectors are failing and dumping so much fuel it's going by the rings and into the oil crankcase. This will also change the oil pressure which you can see on you dash guage.

Yeah, check the oil and if it smells like diesel or if you have more oil than what u put in there the injectors are failing.

fuel in the oil will also lower the oil pressure real low

Is your parking break on?

My brake and ABS lights come up sometimes when its real cold probably just something freezing. Not that that helps you much, one of your ABS sensors could be bad or loose or something.
You just need to go somewhere and get your codes read that'll help us help you

sometimes the abs parking brake light can be fixed by fixing a bad ground

Oh i took it to the stealer today. he did not give the code, but the reading said that it has a large fuel leak. So they told me the injector pump was bad $1500.00 to replace, and that it need new injectors, he said, Oh By the way there FREE, there still under the 200,000 wr. So what do you think? Should i tell them to kiss my or just have them put the injectors on and go somewhere else?
