Recently had oem diesel injectors rebuilt on a 1980 Ford 540. Prior to rebuild tractor ran well but would constantly blow a bit of grayish smoke even when warmed up. Tractor ran better with less smoke after rebuilt injectors were installed. It has maybe 10 hours on it since injectors were installed. I checked the oil and noticed it a bit overfull. There is a scent of diesel on the dipstick.
I did notice that there was a slight fuel leak where circled in the photo. I hadnt tightened it down properlyhave now resolved that & havent turned the tractor back on. I guess I had been running 10 hours or so with it dripping slightly.
Do you think a leak in that location could have introduced diesel into the engine oil? If not, what diagnostics should I perform next?
Im waiting to change the engine oil / filter until I resolve this.
