Oil level will be reading higher than normal, and oil may seem very thin and/or smell strongly of fuel. If its bad enough, you'll blow diesel/oil out the breathers.

Take a piece of paper towel and drop a large drop of oil into it. If a yellowish halo forms, then you know you've got diesel in the oil.

so it will be higher then normal? because i was told it would drop because the oil got thinner and iv done the paper towel trick and iv never gotten any color i dont know if thats because how i do it or my paper towels or what. and what breathers are you talkong about? also is it bad to have it in your crank case what are the damages that it will cause?
