    Fuel smell in engine oil

    Hey everyone

    For a while now when idling my car the exhaust smells of fuel. This morning for some reason i had a sniff of the dipstick and the engine oil smells of fuel too.

    I change my oil every 5k, my engine oil hasnt raised or lowered noticeably on the dipstick. Doesnt blow white smoke. Havent installed anything, im thinking this isnt normal
