Bent rods, sadly. You probably didn't do anything by washing it if it
was already using oil.
The pistons will go crooked in the bores when the rods bend, and very
shortly the cylinders are oval instead of round, at which point they
both loose compression and start to clank horribly.
Mine,
Today I cleaned my motor and replaced the head cover gasket, which I blamed
to cause all the oil on the outside of the motor.
Took it for a drive and noticed at a stop after 15 miles that the #1, #2
#4 prechambers were leaking motor oil didn't make it home.
Rattled like the crank bearings
I have sure never heard of this before.

The only thing I've seen leaking around injectors or pre-chambers is
diesel fuel.
Check the turbo intake for a pool of oil.

I already feel better. I had gassers do this when you run low on oil and the
crank bearings go. But there will be a oil gage on zero or a red light on
This is definately something that looks like pitch black engine oil; and it
is coming out of the head where the prechamber collar screws in to it.
Worst case it ingested water and it's toast (bent rods), but in that
case the response would have been pretty fast and probably wouldn't
have started. Lots of blue smoke out the back before it died?
Don't know -- time to pull the injectors and do a compression test.
Peter
This sounds almost exactly like how my OM617 went last fall, except mine
took a few weeks to go from oh oh, where is that oil coming from, to the
point where it was no longer drivable.
Mine was blowing oil out everywhere at the end, except through the turbo.

Where is the best way to check compression, i.e. at the glow plug hole?
On the older 61X engines that's certainly easier. I think it's
less obvious on the 60X. However, if you've now got bubbling
around the injectors you're going to end up pulling them anyway,
so you may wish to do it through
I am trying to go through the different scenarios in my mind.
If the crankshaft went, it should start if it cranks as easy as it does?
I have no whatsoever experience with trouble shooting
prechambers/injectors, what failure symptoms are and what to look for.
I know from tales that they can
