89 240SX recently tune up and oil change. Last week the car would not start. Took it to Firestone in Odenton, Md. They had the car for 5 days and couldn't tell me why I wouldn't start. My neighbor checked the oil and it was empty. We notice that the oil smells like gas. He changed the PCV and now he starts but I worried because the oil still smells like gas. Any ideas on why my oil smells like gas? Thanks

sounds like you have a leaky injector somewhere. Pull the rail loose from the intake manifold, have a friend turn the car to the run position and see if you see a injector leak. If it is don't drive the car, you'll wash out a cylinder.
