Well I was checkin my oil today and for some reason it smells like 2-stroke gas. The oil has a pretty high amout of gas in it. Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing it?

 

all i know is u need to change ur oil asap!!!!....

 

Yea .. i know that .. im gonna get an appt. first thing in the mornin and get it changed.

 

ok this may be a shot in the dark but when was the last time u changed ur oil.. i might be able to help lol

 

it was just changed not even 300 miles ago

 

Grab something that resembles a flat metal dipstick, the ones that are more common than what you have. Figure out a way to take some out into a clean-ish container and place some on the end of said object just needs to be fairly smooth. With some on the end of the "dipstick" slowly wipe your finger up and look for separation or beading up, that would indicate gas in your oil. Nice and smooth your good to go. You can use new oil as a reference but it should be pretty clear though.

Hopefully you just being paranoid

 

no .. def not being paranoid .. three people have smelled it and all of them say the same thing without me even sayin ****

 

check the plugs but it sounds like you are running a little rich and if thats not the case you got a leaky injector that may not be casueing a miss fire but leaking into the cyclnder.

 

well its not whaat i was thinking it was

 

only a couple things i can think of making gas get in your oil.. dont know if they all hold weight on this car i havent done much tinkering under the hood yet..


Something incredibly wrong in the ECS, with vacuum pulling fuel out of the canister and in to the engine.

A defective Fuel Regulator causing an over rich condition which allows unburned fuel to pass the rings and through the valve guides.

bad rings/seals

manifold gasket

 

Those are pretty much the most common problems which would cause this condition.

 

Well, I'm pretty sure you can rule out the fuel regulator.

 

Thats normal, mine does so does my buddies LS.

 

um no actually its NOT normal! Thats actually very very bad! Anyway I had that problem with my SS and thats because fried the ring lands and the excess gas "washed" the rings. Anyway when we pulled the motor apart we found the rings in pieces at the bottom of the oil pan. and its obviously bad because u changed ur oil not even 300 miles ago! BAD!

 

Well heres an update guys .. took it to the dealer today .. and they told me that their was nothing wrong with it and they will check into it next time they change my oil .. so tomorrow im gonna drive to the next town over from mine .. which has a really nice dealership and some VERY good mechanics and have them take a look at it .. but the only problem is those guys actually know what they are doin .. and the hillbilly ***** at the dealership in my town are to stupid to see that the warranty should have been gone 5k miles ago

 

Just have someone hold there emissions sniffer over the oil filler hole and measure the HCs.

 

well we dont have the emissions **** in nc .. so thats out of the question
