Fuel mixing with oil? is that right????

Hey guys, I need some help. I don't know a hole bunch about engines, but I do know that the oil is not supposed to smell like fuel. Sometimes when I check my oil dip stick, it smell like raw fuel. Also under the oil cap, it seems to have a white looking milky stuff, along with moisture. I don't have any big problem driving my car regularly, it's still depenable. However, I don't think it's supposed to do that. Does anybody know what might be wrong with it?

you may have a blown head gasket.. That white milky stuff is water in your oil and the oil may smell like gas from the gas in the cylinder being pushed into your crankcase.

Your fuel pressure regulator could be bad. Pull of your vacuum line and make sure that it doesnt have any fuel in it.

that is from condensation and moisture inside the valve covers. it happens. as long as your oil isnt milky when you check it, you should be fine.

The oil looks fine, the only thing is that it has the white liquid on the oil cap. I'll check my regulator and vacuum line thanks guys
