I usually use the car to run errands in the city. But the oil has seen three short track days (total of about 9 two and a half minute laps) and about 600km of highway driving. I have Radium catch cans to help catch the blowby.

Because of that, you made me sniff my oil, and it smells like fuel also.

I just posted this in another thread, but could be of some service here too.

I just changed my oil and had an incredibly strong smell of gasoline in it. Found this and other information pointing towards DI.
