| Description of the problem | The engine or something that controls the fuel to the engine causes fuel dilution of the engine oil. This was easily identified when i checked the oil level. The car was at home on a level concrete floor and the oil level was above the normal full level and the oil strongly smelled of gasoline. This results in decreased oil viscosity causing premature wear of engine parts and engine failure leading to increased maintenance costs. |
