Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since the date of purchase i smell gas on the oil stick indicating that fuel is in the crank case (confirmed by dealer). i was advised (by dealer)that it is not abnormal for vehicles mostly driven short distances, but i have driven long distances had oil changed and still have problem. also, i have owned many vehicles, including toyota trucks, and haven't had this problem before. occasionally i have a strong smell of fuel for no apparent reason. i am trying to verify if this is indeed "normal" oil level does not appear to be affected.*ak
