Diesel leaking into motor oil
Chevrolet Captiva 2010 Turbo diesel 168932 miles
My Holden captiva 2010 has started leaking diesel into the motor oil , which causes the diesel fuel to run out extremely fast and for the oil to over fill and leak onto the engine which then brings out black smoke...
I'm not currently driving it , it's sitting in the garage collecting dust...
We've talking to different mechanics but get told different things each time...
Would anyone know where or what the problem would be so we can fix it...
Thankyou

The Injector sits partially inside the tappet cover with the oil, so when a seat leaks it goes directly into the oil. That's one scenario I read some Captiva owners had. Others point to the DPF injecting excessive fuel, but I would think that would take quite a lot of times to create any noticeable dilution through the piston rings, and white smoke would be heavy out the exhaust if it was doing that. I have one doing the same thing, a 2010 Captiva 2.0L. Within 1 month of driving it can collect between 1 to 2 litres of diesel in the engine oil. Dipstick reads double the full mark. Injectors are done, DPF if perfect, Turbo runs full boost, no power loss when driving, very smooth running engine. Never see any smoke out the exhaust, yet diesel still pours into the engine from somewhere?

CommentHigh fuel consumption
Chevrolet Captiva 2013 2.4litre ecotec 97500 miles
I have a 2013 capiva 2.4lt ecotec. 65litre tank and i only get 350km on a full tank. Ive removed the cat with a straight pipe, cleaned off the 2 O2 oxygen sensors, the maf sensor cleaned, added injector cleaner to fuel, and replaced both intake and exhaust solenoids and still blowing black smoke, black soot spots on my tail gate, a little rough idle but not much, its still burning up too much fuel, leads me to think its the injectors over fueling?
