PLEASE HELP? 98 CHEVY BLAZER leaks oil and the oil has a sort of gas smell. it only leaks when its shut off Sign In

I have a 98 chevy blazer 4x4 4.3 vortec. It runs and drives decent but whn shut off it drips oil near front of vehicle. It has a gassy smel to it. The person I bought it from said it didn't start leaking until she put it in to four wheel drive this winter. Only 134,000 miles. Also the other day oil gauge went from 30 to 50 to 40 and was just moving from 30-60. 40 is in the middle. eak please hel

What is the actual oil level? If it smells like gas you have oil dilution. You can not only rupture seals but also will destroy the motor. Have you checked for codes? Is this still on the original tune-up parts?

You said it runs decent. What does decent mean to you?

Need to get under the vehicle and determine where the oil leak is coming from.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
