HELP 93 - 7.3 IDI oil pan flooded with diesel fuel.
I have a 93 F350 quad cab 4 x 4 with a 7.3 L IDI. I've never had any problems with the motor other than hard starts sometimes in the winter.
I was in a serious accident and my other truck that was caused by a woman that was texting and driving. It was T-boned at about 50 miles an hour in the drivers door. I was unable to drive the 93 diesel for 2 to 3 years because of the accident. I first went to use it again this year and I was excited to be driving it again.
I went for a burger a few miles away and when I got to my destination people were telling me that my truck was leaking oil all over the parking lot. I actually flooded my oil pan with diesel fuel. I never had an issue like this before.
My Mechanic is too busy to work on the truck right now and take a look at it. Any suggestions on what would cause the truck to dump a large amount of diesel fuel into the oil pan? Enough fuel from here 2 to 3 mile trip to fill up the oil pan to the point it overflowed. The truck did sit unused for 2 to 3 years which is the first time it sat unused in the 20 to 25 years I've owned it. I'm a contractor and this was my daily driver for work. I desperately need it on the road again to haul my job trailer as I'm finally starting to do some small jobs again. And I need to make money after that working for the last 2 to 3 years...
