What seals are you referring too that it allows diesel to mix with the oil?
The only way I'm familiar with diesel getting into the oil is if you have a
bad injector that leaks after shut down and lets diesel soak past the rings
or burning really rich. Other than that the rest are seals that keep the oil
in the engine.

Over time, the seals will begin to weep oil and the next time you change
your oil, best smell it.
If it smells like diesel, time to go back to 15w40...
If I run anything lower than 15w40 the seals leak and the oil mixes with the
diesel. I notice no change in oil pressure however.
