Found out I don't have fuel in my oil. I drained it anyway, put good fresh fluid in and it is staying where it should.

I'm new here, but I've been reading about the fuel system today, trying to track down likely fuel leak culprits.
The fuel shutoff valve shaft O ring and the fuel density compensator are two things that can cause fuel in the oil from what I've read.
Mine's covering the driver's side front springs and such with something (I suspect fuel) but it doesn't do it enough so it drips when I park.
Hoping it will hold together for another thousand miles or so (new to me truck, not sure how long it's been like this.)

Your drivers side springs may be your steering box leaking on it. Unless you know it is diesel. My fdc is bypassed and heater is disconnected so time for research on other places fuel can enter oil.

Leaking injector is a possibility, but you'd probably notice the miss at idle.
Sounds like you need to come get this m109 so you can keep trucking while you figure that out

Fuel shutoff valve shaft o ring still might be a possibility.

How do you check for that? (Leaking injector)Leaking injector is a possibility, but you'd probably notice the miss at idle.

There are a number of things to look for. Rough idle, excessive smoke, missing when accelerating.
Once you you are fairly certain that's your issue, you can check the temperature of the exhaust manifold right near the head with an infrared temp gun. Check each cylinder's exhaust before the collector. If you find one or 2 that have a noticeable difference in temperature from the others, start there.

Well today, I pulled my newly acquired deuce (I sold 12 years ago!) into our side of the barn, And as it has not been maintained properly I have to start out and go through the whole vehicle. As the wheels have not been off in 12 years the wheel nut conversion was slipping inside the drums, as they were rusted at the studs. So using the fork truck we got the first front wheel removed by taking out the bearings and removing hub drum and wheel complete. We have welded the studs in and freed off the wheel nuts. Tomorrow we will assemble the hubs, drums, new grease, and wheel. Then the other side front wheel.The brake shoes bearings seals and wheel cylinders are all good. big job. progress and pictures tomorrow.

pulled the trailer bed off my bobbed deuce and modified a 14' flatbed off an old dodge d500 truck to fit. cut 4' off the end and turned vertical to make the cab protector. I'm still trying to figure out how to finish it out. haven't decided between expanded steel, or maybe lower half with wood then some steel bars for the top half.

Started putting the troop seats in.
Couple of the stake holes have rocks in 'em. Doh! Not sure how I'm gonna get them out. I used my golf words when I found this.

Scotch please... may need a long screwdriver or punch to loosen them if they are wedged in.

I was at the submarine base. LOL! I remember some local papers (tabloid types) thought there was a secret underground submarine base (500km from Port Augusta). Anyway, I worked at the satellite monitoring facility. If you ever saw the movie Wargames & remember the controller at NORAD mentioning BMEWS, that was us. Ballistic Missile Early Warning System.
Yeah, I am with you on the gun rights issue. Even before Hobart, I remember how strict the laws were there. I had planned to buy a black powder rifle when I got there and spend my off days (4on - 4off shift rotation) getting very good shooting that rifle. When I arrived, I learned that no non-citizens could own a fire arm. I also learned I couldn't buy ammo for an Aussie mate who owned a rifle I could shoot. I also learned Aussies could only buy ammo for guns they had a registration for. So in the end, I got a blowgun & practiced with that. Not as fun, but still good for rabbits for the tucker bag.
