Hello I have a 200tdi defender with 166000 miles on the clock, the engine oil level is slowly increasing, I assume it is diesel getting into the oil, but where?
Any body come across this before?

Thanks

lift pumps obvious thing to look at first should have a tell tale hole on underside to stop diesel leaking into engine ,but doesnt allways means it does, fueling issue would have other symptoms like smoke ,heavy breathing etc

Not personally, but with some engines it's a known problem when seals/gaskets start to go.
WELCOME!

Have a look in the defender section - someone will no doubt have documented the problem and a repair.

Are you using veg oil in it???
Only asking as some engines have a problem with the rings gumming up and sticking in the piston allowing fuel past into the sump.
Just a thought!
