Default Fuel in Engine Oil

Why is that? I changed the oil about 800 miles ago and I start to smell the fuel in the oil. That's not good.

What seal or what cause of this problem? What do I need to replace it ?

Any ideas ?

Well... It could be that you're running way rich. Maybe worn rings...

PCV is directly abover the N75 - its the "puck valve"

also called the 034 valve in a picture on this DIY http://www.scottweese.com/images/pcv/pcv.html

I thought when you run an oil catch can, it eliminates the pcv valve?

Oil catch can catch the oil which goes back to the intake.

Fuel in engine should nothing to do with it, I think.

People in AZ say it could be compression rings. Ones I get it that close to the block, it'd be better to rebuild the whole thing.

onepoint8tee; do you have compression test stuff ? I wanna do compression test see what's up.
