Hey i own a 99 gst and ive swapped from stock to 16g turbo no fuel mods yet and its always had a very stong smell of gas in the oil and somtimes it would make it look like there it to much oil in it when i pull out the dipstick when i know the levels are correct

long story short what could be the problem here if there even is one at all?
 
is that anything to worry about?
in a week or so ill be putting in a walbro 255, 650 injectors, afpr,wideband and safc(till i can get ecuflash)
 
yes can be depending on how gassy the oil is. you dont ever want gasoline lubricating internal engine parts it will cause major engine damage. IMO i wouldnt run the car untill the oil is changed or untill you get your parts and go from there. sounds like you have an inj stuck open flooding your engine thus making its way through the rings during warm up.
 
yea now that i think of it.. it does sound like an injector because the other day i got a check engine light for to much fuel in one bank
 
There you go. Shouldn't be a problem since you're fixing to get those new injectors:thumb:

Hopefully i didnt do any serious damage seeing as the oil has smelled like gas for a while now

cant wait to get my fuel system setup and tuned tho <3 300whp here i come =D
