Method for detecting fugitive fueling arising from a pressure-lubricated air inlet system component in a reciprocating internal combustion engine

A system for detecting fugitive fueling arising from turbocharger failure within an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• a pressure sensor for monitoring lubrication oil pressure within a lubrication circuit feeding oil to a turbocharger;
• and
• a controller for receiving the output of the pressure sensor and for comparing the sensor output with a turbocharger failure template, with said controller taking at least one step to mitigate engine damage from oil ingestion if the results of said comparison indicate that the turbocharger has failed.
