ThIn oil

[bruiserbrad]

my car started blowing smoke bad the other day so I checked the oil and it was really thin almost like the consistancy of water. I changed the oil today and as soon as I started the engine up and when IChecked the oil it had already turned to the water consistancy.
Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know what the hells going on??

I was thinking it could be my fuel pump leaking into my oil? Could this be a possibility? How could I fix it or check it?? Any help would be much appreciated

you cold have a crack in your fuel pump in the diaphragm....undo the sump plug or check the dipstick if it smells of petrol then thats what id say it is

Ummmm.... unless I am mistaken(...and I am NOT a mechanic) the fuel & oil systems in any modern internal combustion engine are completely independent of each other.

So, WTF????

well, the mechanical pump attaches to the side of the block and is oiled, so theor-echnically it is possible, but the chances of the pump diaphram leaking, then fuel miraculously running through the pump assembly, down into the pump crank, then BACK UP into the engine, are really really really reallly low.

if i had a clue what the OP was on about i would post some kind of better answer, but for now i am just left speechless.

Is anyone else thinking apart from fuel in the oil... such as maybe the watery consistency is... well.... water?? Head gasket cracked?
