Connect 1.8 tddi oil level rising

Postby metalworker0 » Thu Apr 24, 2025 11:37 pm

2006 Connect 1.8 TDDI

Questions

1. Is it possible for the fuel pump to leak into the engine?

2. Do you think this is caused by leaky injectors?

There no coolant loss and the engine is smooth and starts well and gives good fuel consumption

No oil in coolant

Last oil change 2000 miles ago .oil now 5mm above high level mark, it was filled to just below high level mark.
been on several long trips the last few weeks

well being as no ones answered, will answer myself

i suppose after 20 years seals become hard and worn, (not having any knowledge of this pumps workings)

i googled and AI said .
Yes, a TDi (Turbocharged Direct Injection) diesel pump can leak diesel into the engine oil sump (also known as the crankcase) due to various reasons, primarily related to internal seals and connections failing within the fuel injection system. This can lead to fuel dilution of the engine oil, potentially causing damage to the engine.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Causes of Diesel Leakage into the Sump:
Leaking seals and gaskets:
The high-pressure fuel pump and its associated components, including injectors and fuel lines, rely on seals and gaskets to prevent leaks. With wear and tear, these can fail, allowing diesel to leak into the oil.

sort of general answer that ..will have to phone PF Jones ..who repair pumps ..if this leak into sump is possible.

all the best.mark
