Foaming, Gas smelling OIL
Decided to check my oil today, white foam all the way up the dipstick, smells of fuel. Sounds like a seal is faulty...1600miles so far without problems. I am going to call the dealer tomorrow, and get checked in...my questions are these:
Anyone else have this problem?
I bought the car 1 hour away and would rather go to my local dealer since it's closer...will there be any problem with that...?
