If it's white and smells like coolant I'd say injector seals. But, since your at the dealer, chances are they'll tell you the truth. Damn it....

My 01 was doing that when it went in for its second set of injectors...

IF its injectors you might want to read the following ;)

General Motors has extended the Duramax 6600 fuel injector warranty coverage for owners of all 2001, 2002 & 2003 model-year Chevrolet and GMC Duramax 6600 equipped pickup trucks and 2003 medium-duty trucks. Issued 10/10/2006, GM Document ID#1866141 & recently #04039B indicates that additional injector warranty coverage is now available for a period of 7 years from the date the vehicle was placed into service or 200,000 miles - whichever occurs first.
This is a no-cost warranty extension, and you may be eligible for service cost reimbursement if your vehicle required fuel injector(s) replacement that was not covered by the original 5-year or 100,000-mile engine coverage. Reimbursement for a prior injector replacement will be limited to the cost equal to that when performed by an authorized General Motors service center. Your local servicing dealer can help you with claim forms and assistance in determining coverage.

Two distinct types of failures are mentioned in the special policy as being included in this new extended warranty - high fuel return rates due to cracked injector bodies and/or ball seat erosion. Other types of failures are not mentioned, and coverage and/or reimbursement for any other type of failure under this special policy will be determined by your servicing dealer.

GM recommends following Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-007A for injectors diagnosed with high fuel return rates. GM specifically directs its dealerships not to replace all 8 injectors for any complaint other than high fuel return rates. Other types of injector failures are "fix as failed", meaning the individual faulty injector will be replaced - not all eight.

Cracked injector bodies and/or ball seat erosion can result in the illumination of the SES (Service Engine Soon) lamp, low power, hard starting, or fuel dilution of the crankcase oil. Please contact your local dealer or call GM's customer assistance center at 1-866-996-9463 if you have any remaining questions.

Matt, you will be covered under the warrenty policy. Take it to Hi Country in Aztec. They did my injectors with no questions asked. Talk to Sheri.

The answer to that question is simple... You must have driven through a temporal worm hole that connected the inside of your engine with a oil well located deep inside of Iran. You lucky dog ):h

well here is another update...... Took it to a different dealer today. They confirmed fuel in the oil. Ran the return rate test and it passed. And told me my injectors are leaking. IE no warrenty. 4500 to fix. Remind you i have only had the truck two weeks. So i took it back were i bought it and they hve it and are gonna try and figure something out. But pretty much told me they would not replace all eight injectors.

HArtfied, sorry to hear your going through some BS.

Can you share with me how you recignized the diesel in the oil? Other than your oil level was to high?

My oil level was right at the top of my stick but seems to have some creep to it... Like i have little oil munchins making oil while i sleep. Does it smell differnt? Airarate, discolor faster?

Anybody know what to look for it? I have 8 brand new BOSCH injectors with ATS tip on them, i paid to have them checked and they passed. Mike u have all my log (balance rates) still think they look alright?

I need to come see you, can we do this?

Lets chat about this one!!!

I not sure I understand how a leaking injector is not covered under the injector warranty.

They are not covered because they passed the flow rate return test. They have to have a snap shot of the injectors not getting above 158 because it has to be sent with the cores. Just good old fasion pos gm leaking injectors are not covered
