to answer the question, YES, but is it your problem? probably not. i remember that with RX7's when they had this problem (gas in the oil), the apex seals were getting ready to go bad, i am not sure what the duty of each of the 3 rings on the pistons are but perhaps your rings are allowing it to seep past.....are you smoking at all?

 

yea black smoke but i figured it was running rich... its not that much smoke though... and i would think the rings were fine cuz my comrpession numbers were good

you have 3 rings, you have a compression ring and 2 other ones, i forgot what they are called and what they do but i am fairly sure that one seals gas
