Man that sucks, I know because the same exact thang happened to me. I was going to work and parked my truck a lil rough idle that morning but cleared right up so after work I start to climb in my truck and there was a ton of oil under my rig. so I freaked out and took it to the dealer after I took my quadzilla race off lol, a injector was bad it took the 2 weeks to fix it because they were on "back order". that's not even the bad part after running my truck for two or three weeks the turbo blew up because of the diesel that had been in the oil took them another 2 weeks to fix that. make sure they put another turbo on!

Is this a common problem? I just bought an 06 motor that had been rebuilt because of a washed out #2 cylinder. The block and crank had to be replaced along with #2 piston and rod. The warranty bill was over ten grand.

OUCH!

If your CTD is hydro-locked due to injector failure - just pull the spark plugs to crank it over and clear the fluid!
