Why is there gas smell in your oil?

This could be the residual effect of a flooded engine. when to much fuel gets injected into the engines cylinders the fuel does not atomize properly and causes the spark plugs to short to ground or not ignite the air fuel mix because there is to much fuel and not enough air. Afterwards the fuel leaks past the piston rings and into the oil causing the fuel to become thin and runny. This could cause engine failure. Changing the oil is recommended
