The piston rings can be tested by running a compression check on the cylinders. This is done by pulling all the spark plugs and checking the compression through the spark plug holes at starter speed. Compression should be around 100 psi with no cylinder more or less than 15% of the others.

How does fuel get into the oil on a td5 defender?
If you're getting gasoline in the oil, then you have bad piston rings that are allowing gases into the crankcase. You can find which piston(s) have bad rings by doing a compression test; a cylinder with bad rings will have lower compression.

You may have very worn piston rings, letting oil through. Take it for a'compression test'/

When doing the piston ring test of putting kerosene in the cylinder to see if it leaks by the rings after 15min. no leak by but over an hour later it did .Are the rings good?
That was a good test if you had a Model T Ford. Using kerosene washes all the oil away from the piston, piston rings and cylinder walls. Not a good idea during start up. These days we use a compression gauge. Take a compression reading of all cylinders with spark plugs out, coil(s) and fuel injectors disconnected. If the first compression reading on a cylinder comes up low, squirt some motor oil into the cylinder and take a second reading. If the reading doesn't change much you have bad valves. If the reading goes up substantially you have worn/cracked rings. What you want to see is all the cylinders having a reading within 15% of the highest and lowest readings.

start the car, rev to 5500, if it sputters going up, not enough fuel pressure
What do you do if there is oil in the intake?
