No,it is happening - three reasons are; 1,injector o rings. 2,injector lower washers. 3 Cracked head.
Whichever it is it needs sorting.

I used to have a Trooper 3.0TD, they're notorious for doing this. The problem with those was faulty injectors seals so could be similar on the Landy. I'd get it sorted straight away and wouldn't drive it until it's fixed. Literally hundreds of troopers have blown up due to this problem. The diesel mixes in with the oil and rises to such a point that it creates sufficient pressure to squeeze past the the piston rings. It can then self feed the engine and even the turning the ignition key off won't stop the engine. They rev so high that the engine self destructs.
