This is an educated quess, but I would think that gasoline got by the piston rings, and washed down the cylinder walls into the oil pan. a cause that comes to mind, would be that at some time the engine got flooded, maybe it was hard starting, and it flooded at some time. anyway the only way from the combustion chamber to the oil pan is to get by the piston rings.
