Default Oil smells like gas!

Car has less than 3500 miles. Oil was first changed at about 800 miles. I saw some posts about oil consumption, so I checked mine. Still shows full but smells like gas. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I am going to change it again this weekend but just wondered if this is normal or if anyone else has experienced this.

Thanks

Default Re: Oil smells like gas!

Mine does too. My friend (the mechanic) said I should worry if I don't smell it. With umpteen thousand psi's that you get in the cylinder you are bound to get blow by.

Both of my Mustangs and my Z smell the same. I know the first time I smelled it I freaked out, relax.
