2012 Honda Accord LX. Gas smell in oil stick
Hello everyone,
I have a 2012 Accord which approx 40k. I owned for about 7 months.
Recently, I noticed a gas smell in the oil stick, the car is not running as smooth as it used to be, I feel it's slightly noisier in rev. There's NO check engine light coming up.
Any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

Some gassy smell in oil is normal, particularly if car is driven for short drives and does not fully warm on a regular basis. Regular drives of 30 mins or more can allow gas to vaporize and be returned to engine via PCV system.
If you have a scanner w/ capability to monitor Long Term and Short Term Fuel Trim, these may give an indication of a rich condition progressing (higher than 5% negative LTFT. Since no check engine light, the problem may not exist. You may also detect a pending code related to your problem.
good luck
