The other day, I checked the oil level in the generator and it was near the full line, but very grey and milky. Changed the oil and ran it for a few minutes. Fine.
The next day, fired up the genny for a 15 mile cruise. Arrived at our destination and checked it again: complete milk! Shut her down for the trip home.
Then yesterday I checked the oil again. This time it was still milky, but began overflowing out the dipstick hole from all the water!
A couple opinions from my diesel dockmates: bad head gasket (but why would it run smooth?) bad heat exchanger letting water in.
Any additional input greatly appreciated!
