Hi,

Having some issues where it seems like diesel fuel is mixing with the engine oil, any ideas how this could be possible and what kind of damage could i be looking at cost wise to repair?

There is alot of blue smoke while the engine is running and a constant thumping noise coming from the engine when it runs.

That is usually the result of a flooding condition. Fuel will run right down the cylinder walls into the crankcase. Leaking fuel injector is the most common cause.

Note: This is not a US sold vehicle so I have no specific info on it.
