Question gasoline in the oil??? help!!!!

when i got my rx-7 there was a good amount of gas in the oil...i finally got it changed and the next day i smelled the dipstick and again...gas, and today when i started it there was smoke coming out of the back and there was a strong gas smell coming with it...what could be going on????

Ok, take a deep breath man, you'll be fine, haha. Gas in the oil on these cars is generally OK. Just some blow by oh the oil seals when cold, or maybe when flooded some fuel seeped by the oil seals. Does your car flood alot? if so install a fuel cut switch (you should install one anyways, run a search on how)

The fuse box is on the left near the clutch pedal, there is also one on the drivers side strut tower.

Good luck man, and welcome to the forum.
