Default Gas in the Oil

As a few of you guys know that I have been haven probs with getting my D to stay running,, Well its been starting an dieing an then I blew the PCM box an when I got another one an put it in then it just did the same thing start for couple seconds then die,, Its been doing this now for a good month,, So last friday I checked my oil to make sure it was ok cause I change it a day after I got it,, When I checked it it was milky yellowes,, But a darker yellowes, I thought it was water, But now I drained it out an I know for sure that it is gas in my oil an can smell it good too,, Well I was wondering if it could be pos that all this time that the D was flooding an makeing the gas go into the oil or if something else mite be wrong now, Or could anybody tell me what I could check, I figure that I go ahead an change my oil an filter an see if it does it again since my D is running good now with the 2nd new rebuilt PCM box

I would just change the oil and filter and see if it does it again... It may have just been from the other issues that you had. run it awhile and go from there..

If your fuel injectors are leaking down, fuel can drain down the cylinder wall and cause damage. Run a healthy dose of injector cleaner through and keep monitoring for fuel in the oil.

Stay with 10w-30. Use sea foam for your tank

i agree with the above, it is most likely from the cylinders flooding by the engine not running and the gas just leaked through so change it out and keep an eye on it, if it happens again then take another look.
