| Hey guys,
Just changed my oil for the first time on this 318. Smelled like gasoline more than most cars.
Also, there was oil in spark plug # 2.
My CA smog test said I was at the limit for hydrocarbons (HC).
Do you think these could all be connected? I also just swapped out the O2 sensor, hoping that will fix a bit of the problem.
I imagine the smog HC was so high b/c there was so much gas vapor in the oil - but why is it getting in there? 113K on the O2 sensor - so it could have been shot, and making the fuel / air mix too rich, so the fuel has no where to go but the oil.
Thanks for the suggestions as to why the gas smell in the oil.
