i knew of oil becoming acidic in gas engines, and figured diesel engines oil would do the same, but i never knew it [diesel oil] did that quicker.

I think the pans are made of crap to begin with. I had one on an N14 that perforated about 2" down from the pan rail. Very localized and the rest of the pan solid as a rock.

Ground the pinholes and brazed them shut. Ran the truck another 10 years with no further leaks.
