try a full oil change. mine did that when the injector went and filled the pan with fuel.Its the cheapest place to start.

Could be a wonky injector but more than likely, its just the pressure sender that needs replacing.

Sorry, I dont have a p/n off the top of my head but the senders are available from Cummins. If you do a search here you should find the part number.
