I know this sounds daft, but it happened to my mates boat and I actually helped him to fix it, but cannot remember exactly what we did.(probably been in the club too long) The sump was filling up with diesel. I know we took off the cowling around the engine and took out the injectors. The good news is it only took a couple of hours and didn`t cost much. This may sound like the rambling of burbling idiot, but hope it points you in the right direction Good luck and happy cruising. It`s something to do with the injectors.

I am not familiar with this type of motor, but if it has injectors inside the rocker cover, then the injector pipework under the cover is most likely broken or leaking. Very common fault on smaller Mercs. If it lacks compression on 1 cyl, then diesel could get into the sump, past the piston rings of the non firing cylinder.
