Usually, the gas flows into the oil sump, increasing the volume of oil.

Additionally, if the heat riser valve inside the exhaust manifold is frozen closed, engine performance under load is greatly diminished (aka the potato in the exhaust pipe effect)

Now my fuel pump is sucking OIL out of the sump (through a stuffed and "no longer available" diaphragm???? I noticed a tiny little bubble of insoluble liquid in my glass pre-fuel pump filter, The pump seems to "lose prime" when let sit, and today I saw the glass filter fill with air bubbles immeadeately as I pulled the dipstick out .....Ah HUH !!!!!) and feeding it to my DELICATE carbs
