Is my car running to rich?

[Ryan.]

HI, recently noticed my car is smelling very rich, heavy fuel smell coming from the exhaust an white smoke. Also when I take my dipstick out there is a heavy smell of fuel in the oil an it looks like it has gone up too notches without me adding any oil I did an oil change on it 4 days ago. would you be conserned about this?

Cheers Ryan.

Did you check the oil in the same place with the engine cold on both occasions?

Direct injection engines do have a tendency to have a smell of fuel in the oil.

From what you have said would be worried to be honest. Is the car tuned in anyway?

 

[Ryan.]

Yh I did and nope it's fully standard

Have you over filled it? Is the dipstick reading over the max?

I under filled it well it was just under half an I thought I better top it up checked the dipstick an it was just over half without me adding anything
