    E60 520D - Engine Oil too High

    What can cause this?

    Doesn't smell or look as though diesel is mixing... anyway, had to drain off over a litre (yes, a full litre); oil was high on the dipstick. I'm sure the oil was not overfilled at last service 5k ago.

    What can cause this problem?

    Leaking high pressure pump seals can be a cause. Get into a garage ASAP!

    Car is layed up at moment... would you believe the seals are likely the problem?
    Any other known culprits?

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience of what this costs best case scenario, and worst case scenario. Bar destroying the engine of course.
