Posted before about finding way too much fluid in the crankcase of my D4h #8PB01320. I just assumed in was diesel...but due to the thanksgiving holiday and a daughters wedding in the same week...i just didnt have time to fart around with it. Looking at it this last weekend better this time, the extra fluid in the engine oil does not smell like diesel and does not seem to be thinned down at all. Judging by the amount of extra fluid on the dipstick...im thinking a gallon or more has found its way in. (its 1 1/2 inches + over full)
What ever happened...happened quickly for engine oil was changed about 6 hours ago... and oil level rose up in the last 2-3 hours or so of operation. When i checked the hydraulic oil level site glass, its now showing low where as it was full before. Ive had no leaks or hose blowouts to loose that amount of fluid that quickly.
Transmission fluid level has stayed the same.
So heres the question, how could i be getting hydraulic oil in my engine oil? OR is it even physically possible???
Thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks
