As the title says, not sure how much came out, but quite a bit when I pulled the dipstick.
This motor is used daily, fired up today to run to marina and about three minutes into the trip it went into limp mode and alarm sounded. Wasn't hot, was pissing a good stream. Pulled the dipstick and quite a bit of oil poured out.
I replaced the mechanical fuel pump about a year ago for this very reason. Haven't checked the oil since service in the fall, but have never had to add.
Is there any other route for gas to enter the crankcase on this motor?

Of course a dribbling injector could do that. What do the plugs look like? Do you disconnect the fuel line from the motor at the end of every day?

When I've replaced plugs they've been clean, white to tan in color. I don't disconnect the fuel hose, but the caps on my gas tanks are never fully tightened, I can't stand these new "balloon" EPA compliant tanks.
