Injector pump on my Ford backhoe did it for me.

For a while, I was kind of happy to be "making oil" then I realized I was making it from Diesel and was a bit less happy :)

Not sure how yours is set up but my injector pump did it on mine.

Working for a custom harvesting crew once and a combine was gaining oil due to the injector pump and the boss's only reply was "Keep an eye on it"..???? ....New engine before it finnished the season.!

You could do a blotter spot oil to get a general idea of oil condition.

"....(copied from another site) (filter paper, coffee paperfilter will work too)
While your engine (and the oil) is WARM (not HOT), allow a drop of oil to fall from your dipstick onto a heavy, white, NON-glossy business card. Lay the paper or business card flat, but so that all but the very edges of the paper is suspended. As a possible example, if you're using stiff card stock or a stiff business card (which you really should be) simply set the card across the top of a cup or mug of some sort.

You want to wait for the paper or card to absorb the oil drop completely which might take awhile. The list of characteristics below should help you evaluate the condition of your oil based on the DRY oil spot.


If your oil is still good for continued use, the dry oil spot will be uniform in color without any especially dark areas or rings. There may be a slightly yellow outer ring.
If your dispersant additives are failing, you'll likely see a very dense and quite dark area, normally within the center of the circle. Consider changing your oil soon, especially if any other issues come up in the course of "testing".
Glycol (antifreeze) in your oil? Expect to see a very black and somewhat "pasty" zone within the oil spot. Change your oil very soon.
If the circle is really dark throughout and has a very distinct outer ring, your oil is severely oxidized and needs to be changed immediately.
If the center of the circle is quite dark and there are outer rings you may likely have fuel in your oil. This does not necessarily mean that you need to change your oil since it is common to have fuel in your oil, but it could if the level is too high. Only a professional analysis will tell you how high those levels are

'keeping an eye on oil' is ok if you have a leaker and need to add a quart every couple hours.. but when you are making a quart every couple hours it just don't work out.. as the evidence shows! :)
