Two questions about engine oil contamination

Posted by mkirsch on October 13, 2014 at 05:33:39 from (72.45.143.81):

The 1066 has been "making oil" this year, about a quart during spring tillage and about half a quart during fall chopping.

Dad figured coolant was getting into the oil. So first question:

1. How much coolant can get into the oil before the tractor spins a bearing?

The good news is, he dumped the oil before corn chopping and there was NO WATER. I figure the injection pump front seal is leaking and putting fuel in the oil. This brings up the second question:

2. How can you tell that there's fuel in the oil?

To me the oil on all the diesel tractors smells has a tinge of diesel fuel smell to it.
