1995 Monte -> Gas In My Oilscotts_monte_carlo 04-22-2005, 12:53 PM I have a 1995 Monte Carlo that I bought about 1 1/2 months ago.. I was checking my fluids as I do once a week, well I was checking my oil and I could smell gas. Well, I called a mechanic and he told me to change my oil and that I probably flooded my car. So I changed my oil, well I checked my oil 2 days later to make sure everything was okay. Well, I smelled gas in my oil again. So I brought my car into Mills Auto Center and had a mechanic look at it. He told me that my car was running as it was suppose to and that there was no gas in my oil.. Well, i just checked my oil again and I can smell the gas again. I had a few friends of mine smell the oil too and they told me that they smelt the gas too! I dont know what it causing this, but if anyone can help me I would REALLY apprechiate it because this is my only car right now and I cant afford not to drive it. THANKS AGAIN! :) Also, my car has a 3.1 L V6 and it only has 87000 miles on it.. tom3 04-23-2005, 08:57 PM I'd suggest replacing the PCV valve and drive it a couple days. Do you drive any on the highway or just short trips? No real connection between the gas circuit and the oil on these cars. scotts_monte_carlo 04-23-2005, 09:00 PM I drive mostly on shorter trips... Do you know how much it would run to replace the PCV valve? tom3 04-24-2005, 09:11 AM Generally the valve is three or four dollars. Hooks to a mid sized hose that goes to the valve cover. Looks like this with the hose off. About 1 inch diameter. http://www.partsamerica.com/product_images/img/FRA/STYLE141.jpg vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
