gas in oil = :(

gas in oil = :(
ok, so I checked my oil today and I noticed I had way too much... it's probably about an inch above the Full line on the dipstick and smells like gas. So I assume a metric crapload of gas is somehow getting into my oil...
how can this happen? is one of my side seals gone? the engine still runs fine.
I recently installed 1680cc secondaries and they're just very very roughly tuned, but I don't think the ocassional stage at between 9-10:1 would make this much gas get into the oil...
I'll try and do a compression test later today, but I did one fairly recently and it was about 110 on all faces... the engine has about 10k on it.
I changed the oil probably 250 miles ago (definitely less than 500) so this happened in a relatively short amount of time.
Thanks guys.

You will find some fuel in the oil of most engines. Just because it smells like fuel doesn't mean there is an unusual amout of fuel mixed in with the oil. Maybe the oil got overfilled at some point. The only way to be sure is to send a sample of the oil to a lab such as Blackstone Labs (http://www.blackstone-labs.com/) for anaylsis. It costs like $20 plus, takes a few days for a report, but it may save you money and a bunch of unnecessary work.

When my engine was flooding a lot I ended up with tainted oil, it's normal to an extent as said above.
With that large of secondaries, you guys think it's possible theirs a lot of unburnt fuel?
btw I still had a OMP, and I'm sure I could _see_ some gas on the dipstick even, do a good oil change and should be fine.

Sorry if I was unclear, it's only 9-10:1 when I stage (the secondaries turn on), then it flattens back out around 12.5:1.
I'm about to change the oil and do a compression test, so we'll see what happens. If that shows up fine, I'll try to just not stage for a while and see if it's still bad running fairly normal AFRs
hondahater: you just made me really worried
