need help!!! check engine light on. have had problem in the past. i would unplug power puck and light would clear. po251 code. this time there was 7 gallons give or take in oilpan. i unpluged the puck and changed oil, the light will not clear and the level on the dipstick is slowly rising. this sounds like injector or pump problem. any ideas? i am working a construction job in the middle of nowhere and there is no garage close. any ideas would be appreciated.

Got a faulty injector or injectors. Should call a tow vehicle otherwise if you keep driving it, you may end up with a scored cylinder=new engine.

 

Did it smell like Diesel when you changed the oil? If so then you have bad injectors, I hate to say it but if your oil is multiplying that is most likely the cause.

 

Injector Issue

 

New injector washer/seal fixed this up on mine a few years back. If it's just leaking a little bit you really not gonna hurt to much. Theres not a huge difference between the diesel fuel and the motor oil anyway. Just a little thinner viscosity.

But be it a bad inlector or just the seal it is almost a certainty that it will be coming from that area on the engine.
