Why does the oil in your 1992 cadillac sts smell like gasoline?

Answer

Most likley have leaky fuel injectors. It can be most anything that would cause over rich/ not burning fuel to be pushed past the rings. If the car seams to be running fine (not missfiring) the sparkplugs and wiring is probley ok. But if under load there is a miss replace both. A good way to tell if you have one or more leaking fuel injectors, the plug for that cyl/injector will be much darker (even black) from the over supply of fuel. I would start off with pulling all plugs and if any are fouled replace them. Noting witch hole they were in. Run around own for 10 or 15 miles, pull the plugs that were fouled and compair it to another hole that was running clean, and if the new plug is starting to get sooty (getting dark) you found which injector is leaking. If it is not fouling to fast try the injector cleaner (works best on 1/2 tank or less). You can buy the cleaner from any auto supply store, takes any ware from 5 to 30 miles before the cleaning starts to take. If the cleaner does not help replace that injector.

Hope this helps you, Ben Parker, San Jose, Ca
