Gas and oil smell in passenger compartment. Gas is leaking into the engine oil causing overfill level. Oil leak on floor of garage. Fear gas in oil will cause premature wear of engine. Just found this was a known problem by honda in 2017 and 2018 models but still sold me the car. Taking car in. Bought new has 2100 miles now.
