Yanmar 2GMF Oil Level Rising

The oil level on my Yanmar 2GMF is rising (it's at the top of the dip stick). The engine starts and runs normally - no black or white smoke. Any ideas on what the cause can be?

Broken diaphragm on the fuel pump, allowing diesel to leak into the crankcase. Fix it soon as diesel is a lousy engine lubricant.

Drain the sump or you are heading for a run away situation.
