Change the intake manifold gasket, that means taking the whole top part of the engine apart.

Locate the fuel injectors just above the engine valve covers. There are six injectors, each pointing to a cylinder. All of the injectors are mounted to a chrome fuel supply tube. Mounted to the chrome tube is a fuel pressure regulator, it is about the diameter of a silver dollar and has a vacuum line mounted to it. Start the engine and remove the vacuum line. If gas comes out of the regulator vacuum port the regulator is leaking and fuel is being drawn into the engine via the vacuum line. If its leaking replace the fuel pressure regulator.

Most times that is caused by one or more cylinders mis-firing or a bad injector. Can also happen if temp sender is not functioning correctly, causing the engine to think it's cold all the time (t-stat can also do that)
Many larger parts stores do free code tests which may be helpful if there is any problem with an engine sensor. If the problem isn't obvious, likely that is the best way to begin.

This is probably a stuck fuel injector. you may be able to determine which one by examining your spark plugs. But you must fix this before running that or you will ruin the engine. The oil will break down and wipe out the engine bearings.

I was driving my 1992 Ford Explorer when all of a sudden I heard lound grinding noises. It sounded like metal dragging on the ground mixed with grinding gears and metal under the truck. When I looked

sounds like possible brake job if the truck didn't drive differently or you can feel light vibrations on the steering wheel...either way could be costly depnding on if you know how to change your brakes yourself :)

How do I keep getting gas mixed in with my oil?

Does the blazer run ok? how much gas is in the oil? You will get a certain amount of gas in oil thats normal. If your getting like a half a quart thats not normal. If your getting a lot in the oil its got to be flooding and fouling plugs. Need the whole story in order to help. Just taking a gess hear its the injection system, there was alot trouble with them thru the years like your blazer.

I have a oil leak in my 1992 Ford Explorer.

Take off oil pan, regasket it with gasket maker, Install. Replace oil filter, and be sure its on solid. then check Sending Unit. (what looks like a bolt with a wire in it). Is it tight? while your there, take it off and use teflon tape and put it back on. It should be good.
