Just undone the sump plug to drain the oil and there was petrol mixed with the oil.(very runny oil and a strong smell of petrol)

What could cause this?

P.S:The car has been standing for 6 months.

 

just change the oil and see if its like that in a week if it s could be worn piston ring or a bad map so that it is bore washing

 

Have had problems with the FUEL METERING UNIT.I:E Loads of petrol being chucked into the engine and flooding.Just wondered how it gets into the sump??

Don,t need a serious problem right now.

piston rings as they have a ring gap and thats were its lost through

 

Have you been starting itup over the six months and letting it sit there at idle?????????
Not a good thing to do

 

So are my rings f*ked or is it just unburnt fuel that gets through being thinner than oil??????

 

Not deffo fooked,over fueling can cause this

Don't leave it like it for too long though

just change the oil and go from ther and see

 

Sort your over fueling before wasting any more oil

 

it's a typical "safe" setup

 

it'll either be overfueling when you parked it up and the bore wash will have sent the excisive fuel down past the rings
or
if you've been letting it run up then the cold start could have been leaking and just dumping fuel into the chambers which is getting pushed past the rings

i had an injector out and it was pissing fuel through the turbo and exhaust
which turned the 3 door into a bonfire

 

i have this problem. Its urgent! its a matter of maybe buying a new engine which i really cant afford. Is this sorted buy adjusting the metering unit? Would this cause the compression to die? I appreciate it wouldnt be tuned but would it stop the problem? thanks

 

Has been known on car sales cars always started on 'choke' for a while and not run properly.
As said change oil and treat it properly, and see how it goes.
