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...?

No problems. You can take your car to ANY Mazda dealer, anytime!
