Subject:      gas smell in oil update
Content-Type: text/html

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>hey all.</DIV>
<DIV>today i did more poking around.&nbsp; upon further inspection, i pulled dipstick, the fill level of oil was 3 inches above where it should lie!&nbsp; reason: full of gas!&nbsp; so i immediately began to drain oil.&nbsp; the oil runs out grey, like emulsified oil and gas together.&nbsp; I will fill with fresh oil and start her up again tomorrow and see what happens.&nbsp; My guess for the leak is, that oil level way too high since gas is present, upon start up too much pressure from overfill and gas thinned oil began pushing thru seals, my geuss.&nbsp; now i just need to systematically find out why gas is present.&nbsp; injectors staying open? computer reading weird? dunno, will inspect further tomorrow.&nbsp; thanks for all who have given their imput, and please keep the advice coming.</DIV>
