I have gas in my oil...
I have heard that gas in oil can be caused by a fuel pump being bad. Is this true? Or is it from running rich?
Here is the main symptoms:
Strong gas smell in oil
Thin oil
Oil level extremely high.
low oil pressure.

Re: I have gas in my oil...
Yes the oil pump can cause that.
It has a rubber diaphragm; fuel is on one side, the crankcase is on the other.
What you have, is what you get when the rubber wears out.
A fuel pump is like $15 and takes about 10 minutes to change. Not a big deal.
Change the oil too, of course.
