If your car is running too rich, the excess fuel will get past the rings and do what they call an oil wash on your cylinders washing the protective oil coating that helps seal the rings to the wall. The excess fuel does not get burned so it goes past the rings down into the bottom of the engine into the oil and this is how you get gas in your oil. I would get it fixed before your cylinder walls are badly scored and the rings won't seal anymore. You compression will drop and you are lookign at a bottom end rebuild answer if your vehicle is older model and has a mechanical fuel pump on engine block not newer model with electric which is usually in the tank the diaphragm can burst,crack,etc. and pump gas into your oil had it happen on an older model v8 Ford truck before... Hope This Helps
