Injector O-rings? or is there something else to look into first.

Injector o-rings are the only way. If the rail gasket fails, you can get this, but they will almost always puke oil to the outside first.

If it EVER got hot, look at the o-rings. They do not take excessive heat well at all.

If you want customer service, you NEED an International!

Thx sir, I know cats are bad about injector o-rings leaking. I just wasnt sure about the dt466e or if the rail could leak internally.

The rail on the now "older" DTs is VERY robust, and typically will only leak oil to the outside. They are not prone to internal leaks or cracking, and I have never seen either in 10+ years of dealing with the "E"s.

The DT466E use the same HEUI fuel system as the Cat. If the injector O-rings go bad you can get engine oil into the fuel system.They will usually smoke and oil consumption will go up.

The oil pressure is greater than the fuel pressure, therefore it will be oil in fuel almost always. There is a possibility for the oil to pass internally in the injector. I usually change o-rings and injectors together. This avoids doing the job twice.
