Hey there dsmtuners,
I have a 95 gs 420a, 156k miles, I was changing my spark plugs today, and figured while i'm at it, I checked my oil, and smelt it, to see if it smelled burned, But I smelled gas in the oil, I changed my oil 500 miles ago, I had not noticed until today, But I have been leaking oil, I looked and there was about 8 drops of oil, I park in the garage, and I never clean under my car, or look, so that could have accumulated over weeks or months, After 500 city miles, i went from the full mark to halfway to empty (about half a quart) of oil loss, My car stalls out randomly, pushing in the clutch sometimes stalls it, but its not limited to that, It smells like its burning oil when its running, it usually starts right up after a stall, I went to the dealership, and they said there was not a recall for my car, for the gas tank. I am pretty sure the previous owner abused it, and I floor it from time to time, not too often though. I am planning to do a rebuild on the engine this December, but im hoping to get the car to last me till then, I drive about 10 city miles a day, and maybe 60 over the weekend. Any ideas on what this could be? Any ideas would help, I am taking an auto service class right now, So checking for things wont be a problem, I just don't know what to check for, not too much of a mechanic...Yet!
