if you do a search you will find a couple of threads on this topic. there are some people that swear their oil never smells like gas while others say it always smells like gas. my oil always smells like gas. the compression checks out good and it runs great, so i'm not worried about it.

Your oil should be changed everytime you flood.
Its common to smell gas in the oil if flooded (even a little) or if compression is low.

Opinions are like........
How many miles was on this gas smelling oil?
Change it more frequently and after every flooding episode.
I also have noticed that certain oils can affect the smell. Try other brands and use a weight that matches your weather and driving style.
