IN gas in the oil

ok first off i have a 86 n/a it has a cone filter and header. well i was draining the oil and i notice it was very thin and smelt like gas. my car smokes realy bad and a light oil film out the exhuast could the resion be that the oil was so thin with gas that it was being bypassed by the oil controle rings. so my question is how is that gas getting there and could that be why my car is smoking bad. also my oil was so thin it wasnt even funny.

Were you the one who wanted to race a 350Z?

Or the one who wanted to race the turbo honda?

Its called "blow by" your seals are bad, the fuel is "blowing by" the seals into your oil making it like dr.pepper. time for a rebuild, If your kinda of mechanically inclinedand have a buddy as well, you should get a rebuild video and go for it, not that difficult, fun, and cheaper.

Have you changed the oil? Or is this the first time?

If its the first time use 20 50 oil sum dummy might have put 5 20 in or something stupid.. Might explain your smokin problem.. The thin oil when in jected is just flying thru the oil injectors and burning like really quick... soo try some 20 50!

1. when was your last oil change?
2. have you recently been flooding the car?
3. when was your last tune up?
4. how often do you have to add oil to it?
