| Description of the problem | There is gasoline leaking into my oil. There is over 1 quart of oil in my 4 quart oil pan. The oil level on the dip stick is 1/2" higher than the maximum level on the dipstick and the oil reeks of gasoline. Honda has tried, but failed to fix this. I can smell the gas in the cabin and when it is parked in the garage. I contacted a major oil company if the ratio of gas to oil would cause a problem and he said it was "alarming" i am concerned about the odor of gas, specifically the benzene which is present in gasoline. I am concerned about a possible fire too. We have had the dealer change the oil two times now even though the vehicle is almost brand new and was not supposed to have it's first oil change until 10k miles on it. |
