increasing level of oil on dipstick
The oil dipstick level keeps increasing on my f350 diesel. I drained excess thin fluid of about 20 quarts when I changed the oil. I think I have fuel leaking into the oil. Where does it come from, how do I stop it? Someone saild put dextron III ATF into fuel and it may help seal.

There are two main sources. First is injector o-rings, and the second is the fuel pump itself can leak. I had to fix both of these problems when I bought my pickup. Both of these are DIY jobs if you are able.
