The oil will quite normally smell of gas, even if everything is perfect. Mine always does. However, if the oil is getting very diluted and thin because of a large quantity of gas, then there is a problem.

Maybe your nose needs a tuneup?

Gas in the oil of a rotary engine? Is the Pope Catholic? Does a bear **** in the woods? These are the questions of our time.
