Need help with finding out how gas is getting in the engine oil. I have a 1976 40 with 2F motor and Holley carb. I have replaced the fuel tank, clean the fuel lines, replaced the fuel pump (not OEM), replaced fuel filter, rebuilt the fuel side of the carb.
Current status is low oil pressure on factory gage, increased fluid in the oil pan which to me smells like gas, no fuel leaks in or around the carb (that I can see), starts and idles better than it ever has, gas smell might be more than normal and running rich. Carb is adjusted to max vacuum.
I would appreciate any help or advise I can get. I have been stalking this forum for many years. It is unbelievable the amount of knowledge in this community. If I can't get it sorted out I may be asking for a good mechanic in the Houston area. I need to find one that is not booked out with work for months in advance.
