F40 4stoke oil leak

[shamanII]

I have a 2006 F40 tlra that is leaking oil @ the powerhead. when I pull the dipstick oil is gushing out? when I idle for a long time oil from the crankcase breather is getting into the carbs?
any ideas? I thought maybe the ccv is blocked or?

If it comes out the dip stick it could be making oil. Does you oil smell like gasoline?

I just checked & yes it does a little?

how does fuel get into the crankcase past the cylinders? broken rings? I am not experiencing any loss of power except occasionally after extensive idling the engine smokes badly & chokes out. When I restart it's fine?

You probarly have a defect thermostat, engine is running to cold and some gas comes in oil.Easy to replace

sounds like you need to be checking your oil more often also
