Fuel smell in oil

[Joker]

I have a 83 wagoneer ltm with 188,000 on the 360.
I bought it last Feb. and hav'nt the time to do the things I had planed to do. One thing it does it is real hard to start in the mornings, sometimes I have to primr the carb. Well I had the oil changed today, and the guy said I had a strong smell of fuel in the oil. He said a bad fuel pump would do that. I looked at the vacume diagram and it is hooked up all wrong. I had someone tell me that happens when your rings are shot. Any advice from the experts ?

Change your fuel pump the diaphram in the fuel pump is broken.

and do it fast. the gas is diluting your oil, and you have no idea how badly. let it go too far and you will be buying a new engine.
