Unhappy Revving on its own...

What could be that cause that a Ford Escort 18 TD engine revs on its own? Thanks.

oil is leaking into the fuel and causing it to "diesel up"

find your leak, solve your problem

Air peak perhaps?
Mist likely to be the turbo oil seal leaking and then the engine is running on due to the oil

Is it using much?
