Coolant in engine oil
I have a stock 2001 with 220000 on the clock.
Is it possible for the bottom of the injector cup to leak into the cylinder, causing it to fill with antifreeze? The top of the cups are not leaking when doing a pressurized test on the system, can the bottom be leaking and we just cant see it?
Or can it be a head gasket or cavitation of the cylinder wall?

Probably not related but just in case I had all my coolant end up in my diesel fuel tank. Ended up being a cracked head. :0( . All better now but what a process to figure it out. Good Luck!

True, but the glow plugs and injectors are out, cylinder #2 filling with coolant, where is it coming from?

True. Still hoping it can be injector cup, not leaking from the top of the cup, can it leak from the bottom and fill the cylinder up with cooant?
