What are the Leading Causes.....

Josh he just finished doing HG's. And the injectors were dirty when we were talking and Shawn cleaned them up so might be something there also.
will try to get screen shots of the balances rates tonight or mid morning tomorrow. When I fires the truck back up from doing the HG's the balances rates varied from +/- 1-2. But I will double check this and get some screen shots. Just a little more information, every now and then I can get like a heavy grease odor while driving but can't place where its coming from as I can't smell it once the truck is shut off.
I like this, pushed the front seal out of the pump?! If it was a leaking injector there would be a lot of noise and smoke when started.
What type of noise? I have NO smoke at startup. Is the seal you speak of a serviceable part or is it just replace the CP3?

my friend's 07 5.9 CR just had this issue, It's not serviceable, just find a good used cp3 or go big (buy a modded one)
I would say cp3 input shaft seal also. If you where getting it from the injectors the engine would knock on start up or all the time, because the injector leaked fuel into the cylinder. How much fuel are you talking about?
enough to notice on the dip stick (not really sure how to quantify the amount) and the oil has more of a smell of bearing grease more so than oil. There seems to be knock while running but it sound like its coming from #1 which doesn't look to be of concern in the balance rates posted above, right?
Are you sure its fuel? Not coolant? drop a drop of oil on a white piece of paper and see if you get a light ring of tan around the center drop of black, that would be fuel. How far up the dip stick would help quantify an estimated amount.
Even using dexcool the tint would be green? Yes I put fresh oil and filter in/on after the HG project.
I would change the oil again, sounds like maybe you still have some residual contamination from the H G job??? Watch the oil level real close to see if it is growing.
What kind of oil are you using? It shouldn't smell like gear oil.
I would still try the paper towel trick even though the oil isn't dark, you should still see the fuel soak out away from the drop of oil very quickly.
