After my Duster flooded real bad the other day, I noticed that my oil has a really strong, gassy, smell. Is there gas in my oil? I have never seen this before. |

hello jeb- have seen this before in sl6s and 318s but it is uncommon. a damaged cracked or loose body carb could cause this, but themore likely cause is a leak in the diaphram of the fuel pump. when the arm flexes for a pump shot on the cam eccentric, gas can dump into the oil pan. how old is the fuel pump? |

Change your oil right away, dude - and hope that's all it was. Keep an eye on things to make sure your fuel pump's not leaking gas into the crankcase. If it is, replace the pump. D/W |

I have heard that when it gets hot, the gas will evaporate out. I know it is not the fuel pump because it was replaced last month and the carb is brand new. |

Normal if you flooded bad. Change your oil right now. Mitch |

Better safe than sorry, change the oil, but I wouldn't lie awake at night over it. A few good wiffs of gasoline or some on your hands/shoes/clothes, and EVERYTHING will smell like gas for hours. A few more wiffs and you'll see pretty colors   OOooops, those are ambulance lights  Sometimes "new" pumps are junk from the factory, just keep an eye on it in case. |

I had that happen with 3 different new fuel pumps. I never could figure out why the diaphrams kept rupturing. I eventually installed a Holley electric fuel pump and have been having no problems since. Mike |
