Default 83 Detroit Diesel getting fuel in the oil

I have a 1983 Ford truck that is getting fuel in the oil.
The truck hasn't been run in over a year. Ran fine the last time I drove it.

Started it up last week and it started blowing oil out the vent pipe.

Checked the oil level and it was way over full.

CHanged the oil and the filters and ran it a little bit... same thing. It started filling up with fuel again?

Anybody got any ideas where to start?

I guess there were two sizes of detroit diesels for this truck. From what I understand it it the bigger of the two. "Fuel Mizer"?

on the detroit pull the vavle cover start it up and let it idle you will see it leaking, if you dont see them leaking there your going to have to pull all of them and take it to a detriot they can pop test them and see or you might just have a bad o ring make sure you mark the injector which hole it came out of
