gasoline in oil?

[josue estrada]

I did an oil change and to my disbelief i found the whole oil pan filled to the brim. It was way over 5 quarts and it smelled like gasoline. SO apparently in the past 3 months of driving gasoline has been leaking into the oil. Where do i begin to fix this issue?

Sounds like a carb problem. Floats to high or floats leaking down assuming you have a carb.

And assuming its been run like that for some time. I can only imagine the beating the bearings and cylinder walls took.

Just did some reading, and there are a few possible culprits:

1. Bad piston rings / blow by.
2. Leaky injector.
3. High fuel pressure.
4. One cylinder not firing.

I'd start by doing a compression check, and a fuel pressure test.

From what I understand gas acts as a de-greaser, and will kill your engine pretty quickly.

With the engine running place a long handled screwdriver or mechanics stethascope on the back of each injector andfeel or listen for them firing. Be carefully with the running engine as you could get cut ur burned. Pull plugs and look at them. If they are black too rich or burnt possible leaky rings. Do the compression test.

I wish I could see vehicle info on the app save me from guessing on the vehicle lol.

95 yj . fuel injected.

i think every time i have had this issue on a fuel injected engine, it was the injectors were leaking down when you shut the vehicle off and draining down the cylinder walls into the oil pan


not that i have had it a lot

 

[josue estrada]

so do you think I should just attempt to replace all the injectors?

I wouldnt replqce them, its never a bad idea to pull ane clean them though. Pull them amd spray them out with some carb cleaner through out
