Hi there over the weekend I ha
Hi there over the weekend I had a strange thing that happened which no one can explain.
The story is I checked the oil dip stick to my Perkins 4107 and according to the dipstick it had no oil at all. I checked about 10 times and found out there was clean diesel in the sump which I found strange not a drop of oil. There was no oil in the bilge I fault to my self it could have been the rear crank seal but oil would have been in the bilge.
So I got some oil and but in about 2 litters and fault I check the dipstick again when I checked the dipstick it was full of dirty old oil.
I didn’t run the engine at all during this. I no how to check the oil and use a dipstick I do it every week before I run the boat out. I can’t work out how a sump of oil can disappear and reappear after only putting 2 litters of clean oil in. I no 2 litters of oil is not the capacity of the oil tank it takes about 4-5 gallons
The Type of boat is a Senior 26 river cruiser. I would be very grateful for any help or who has an expansion. My friends or a marine mechanic can’t work it out
