I have a 04 pete with a 475 cat mbn series motor that had a full overhaul about 8000 back. Overhaul was pistons liners rods mains and a cat reman head. Started getting diesel in oil. Ran dye thru fuel system 4 injectors were leaking fuel. Replaced all 6 injectors with cat remans. A couple days later diesel in oil again. Put on new transfer pump. A couple days after this, same problem. Took it to local shop pressure checked entire fuel system couldn't find the cross contamination. The only thing left that i can think of is a bad head from cat. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this problem or had any ideas before i take the truck to peterbilt.

Dye and a black light will be the best way to find it, maybe they pinched and cut an injector o ring when they swapped out injectors.
-
I had a series of bad injector cups soon after an inframe on my 3406E...could be the same issue with yours...?
-
How are you check for fuel in the oil in the first place? Is the oil level going up lots? Did you change the oil after the first repair?
-
morehp: after we changed injectors and had fuel in the oil again we ran dye test for a second time and couldnt find the leak. so we changed the transfer pump hoping that was it. but it still is doing it
CbarM: we are checking the injector cups now. if not that then maybe cracked fuel rail in head.
heavyd: After we change the oil after the motor runs for a few hundred miles check the oil and it will be overfull thin and smell like diesel. We have chenged the oil 4 or 5 times in 8000 miles (we changed it each time we thought it was repaired and we had driver change it when he was on road after he noticed fuel back in oil) -
I keep burning up bottom injector o rings, platinum in frame done 30k miles ago. Did you ever figure out the problem
