I checked my oil today and noticed gas smell in the oil, what would be causing that? The motor has 85,000 miles on it. I did a compression check on both front and rear rotors (front 123 psi) and rear (125 psi) and they both pulsed evenly all around, I dont get it, anyone have any ideas?

 

how long has it been since your last oil change? did you drive it really hard lately, my fd oil smells like gas around 2k miles and that is where i replace it at

 

Its been a while since ive changed the oil, I dont drive it as of now, it sits at my house, I havent driven it because it has no tag, so I start it every once in a while and drive it around the block, It just gets warmed up to operating temp, a couple hard pulls but nothing hard, maybe I should change the oil and check it again after, what do you think?

 

Good plan.

 

Short trips (like you describe) contribute to the "gas in the oil" smell. Longer trips give a better opportunity for contaniments in the oil to evaporate out.

 

I understand, ill change the oil, then ill just start it let it idle to operating temp, till I get it tagged. I was waiting to register it till this year so I could get the antique tag, and ive been doing a full gslse suspension swap, and coilovers inthe front, thats all done, so tag will be on soon
