Ok so while dropping the oil in my car the other day i noticed a smell of petrol in the oil, First thing that came to my mind was bore scoring mad

Not looked since the cars not with me at the moment, But there was definitely more vapor coming out of the left bank exhaust while it was cold.
So whats you opinions?
How else would i get the smell of petrol in the engine oil.
I was under the impression than the 3.4 engine dident suffer from bore scoring.

Have you fitted a low temp thermostat? Might be an idea. Could give you more time.
