I have no idea what "dilution" means.

AIUI, it means that air that hasn't been involved in the combustion process
is hitting the sniffer, commonly through a hole/leak in the exhaust, or a
bad exhaust valve or some other condition that's preventing combustion or
causing incomplete combustion in one of the cylinders.
