While checking my oil, I noticed that the oil from the dip stick had a very strong smell of gasoline. What is the reason and how do I resolve it???

Hi there ,

you will get this smell if the oil has not been changed in some time, otherwise you may have a leaking injector, you can have a fuel rail pressure test to check this out.
