| STOP DRIVING YOUR CAR, this happened to me a while ago, what has happened is your fuel is going through the oil retuyrn, you have to get someone who knows where all the hoses go and get them to look at it, i drove on it and my whole engine ceased, hope that helps cya nathan |

| What model gem is it ? If it is late model and is using a mechanical fuel pump, there is a 99% chance that the fuel pump is leaking into the engine via the head, I ave seen this quite a few times. If this is the case change the pump and oil/filter. The fuel can damage seals espically the sump gasket, but if it is not leaking it should be fine |
