I was driving down the road and it started spitting and sputtering. It dont want to stay running. There is gas in the oil. What might be the problem?

Hi there,

You may have a failed fuel injector and the fuel is leaking into a cylinder causing the miss fire and the oil dilution, pull the spark plugs and look for a black fuel fouled spark plug, start here.
