How does fuel get into the oil unburnt??If there's fuel in the oil it could be thinning it and causing the pressure drop maybe? Wish there was an OBDII oil pressure reading.

If you have leaked enough fuel to thin the oil that's a worry.I purposely didnt get colbalts as everyone has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I roll!!!! Edited 22/07/11 12:17 PM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it flashes off there's a fair chance the oil has been thinned by the fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
