blew it up?
Well I went on a road trip last Saturday and on the way home the check engine light came on. I went about 2 more miles and pulled over, was planning on checking the code. Well as I slowed down all I could smell was raw fuel, and there was smoke everywhere. Had to turn on the wipers, shut it off and popped the hood. Diesel every where, the enclosed trailer I was pulling was covered also. I checked the oil, there was a fuel/oil mixture that started to run out when I removed the dip stick. Now I just had #4 injectoer replaced a couple of weeks agos. A buddy came and got me and we hauled the POS to the local dealer who replaced the injector, they seamed very nervus. Does this sound like the #4 injection line broke? Any other ideas? Should I be concerned about other damage, bearings, cam, etc. I feel a hosing coming, got 6 weeks left of warrenty. Thanks guys.

If you had fuel in your oil, then you might have had an injector hang open, or worse, a tip broke off. (That causes a LOT of problems...)
A #4 line breaking would only cause under hood problems, not internal.
If the dealer covered it, I'd watch yourself real close... when the bottom end is washed in fuel, it loses a lot of lubrication properties, and you have the possibility of a lot of bad wear.

They may have replaced the wrong injector. I had 2 (Per dealer) fail within 750 miles of each other. Me thinks Dealer changed wrong injector or found one leaking and didn't check the others.
