Re making oil.... poorly operating injector /s leaving particles of unburnt oil to be forced down the bore past piston rings into the sump giving the appearance of no use of oil .. It used to be common in lots of diesels even ones that have good exhaust emission readings.
Had a big static genny kicking out 100 KVA on a tower crane supply which used to pour out oil when the dipstick was removed , no one at the company involved realized what was happening .
They got a shock when the fuel consumption figures arrived on the scene though and an even bigger one when I took the genny out of service and did a complete engine overhaul on it.
I've often wondered how they would have managed if the flywheel or a couple of con rods came wizzing out the casings due to poor lubrication whilst a 20 tonne load was being moved 60 feet up .
