Gasoline in the oil pan

Ok so Im checking my oil, and everytime I do I notice that it has the same amount or more in there. My car also leaks alittle bit of oil, well I smelt it today and I could smell gasoline, how could gasoline get into the oil?

Very SIMPLE you flood the **** out of your car!!!! and it dumps all the RAW unburned gas in to the combustion chamber but if it is really flooded it will work its way down to the oil pan. my old 12A GS did that I had like a 1/2 gallon of gas in my oilpan.

But it doesnt noticablly flood. When I first got the car, I had to use my fuel kill switch every so often, but no pretty much never. But yes Im sure it runs kinda rich.
