I finally got the oil pan gasket in (w00t, Felpro stuff is hawt), and I was draining the oil. I JUST put it in the day before the BBQ. Now, while some...ok, most of the oil was pissed out of and onto the headers causing a crop dusting situation, I still had some in the pan. When I drained it...it smelt like gas? and it was BLACK!! It smelt almost like diesel oil.
WTF is going on here?
Now, when I drained it for teh oil change last friday, no gas smell from oil.
Possible rings being shot?
