Help! Gas in oil and no oil pressure!
Help, I don't know what is going on. The last time I changed my oil (I had a mechanic change it), he said that I had gas mixed in with my oil. I thought he was crazy as I didn't see how that was possible.
The other day, I was driving to work, and my oil pressure suddenly droped. I freaked out and pulled off the highway. I checked to make sure my oil was alright. It was about a third of a quart low--nothing major. I addred a little oil and started up again. The pressure went up for a little, and then dropped back down. I noticed my hands smelled like gasoline
On the ride home, my pressure fell below 30psi. The performance doesn't seem to have slipped--I still have my 300hp at the wheels, or so I assume.
Has anyone run into this problem before? If so or if you have any ideas, please help!

So you are saying that is is normal to have a highly flameable liquid used to cool a red-hot engine and turbo?
My car used to be an N/A and I never noticed it then. Is this something that happens to cars that are turbo charged or modified? It is kind of scary to be driving aroud a grenade.
