How can I tell if diesel fuel is getting into my engine?

I would take an oil sample with the contaminated oil and send it to a lab. They will tell you what you already know, that there is fuel in the oil. But what you need to determine is if there are any high levels of any engine bearing material in the oil. That will allow you to judge if there is any real damage that has occurred to the engine.

Thus, do not get too upset if the oil analysis looks a little on the bad side.
