Fuel smell on oil dipstick

Does anyone have the same problem? I rebuilt my engine 150km ago... smell was also before rebuild.
Is it ok?

The rotary has a natural fuel/oil dilution caused by blow by. It's totally normal. That's why we have a shorter suggested oil change interval to compensate for the dilution over time.

Normal. I change my oil every 1500 miles.
