I bought a 98' cobra about 3 months ago, and it threw a CEL today, I smelled the oil, and it smelled strongly of gas. Also, it burns a decent amount of oil only on start up. Is this a gasket for sure or what else could it be? Does this point to a definate rebuild? And if so, is there a risk in driving it now untill I can fix it?
