I just had a prop shaft replaced on my 2005 df140. Took it out for a spin and it ran great with no problems. When I got home I checked the oil just for kicks (new motor for me). The oil volume is higher than the max line on the dipstick and smells like gas. The oil looks clean. What would cause gas to get into the oil?

Re: df140 getting gas in oil?

Just to update, I drained the oil today and it looks milky. Would gas make it look milky or do I definitely have water in the oil? There was no gasket on the drain plug and I am wondering if this is where the water came from. Any suggestions?
