I have a 1999 Nissan Frontier, king cab 3.3 v6, 4x4. I was checking the oil on the truck today, and to my suprise, the oil smelled like gas. I was wondering if anyone has had this same problem, and if so, what was the problem.

Any check engine lite? Possible injector stuck open or dirty, allowing fuel to seep past.

I do not have any check engine lights on. If the injector was stuck open, would the check engine light come on?
