Subject:how does gas get in oil?
From:Tim Root

Hello list, I have noticed when I change my oil, it has a fairly strong gasoline smell. Can somebody tell me how gas gets in oil, and could it have something to do with leaky injectors? My van is an '84, uses very little if any oil, but it has been progressively thinning faster and faster with each oil change. If it is leaky injectors what are my options for fixing this problem?
