Gas in my Oil!?!?!?

Hey, I flooded my car about month or two ago, and ever since then, my engine oil has reeked of gasoline! I've changed my oil twice since then, and now, it still reeks of gasoline. I don't know what that may have to do with it, but it's been smelling like gas ever since I flooded it that one time! It still runs strong (knock on wood). I don't really know what could cause this, or what to do about this aside from keeping on changing my oil every 500 miles or so. I would strongly appreciate any and all help that y'all might have! Thanks in advance!

I don't think it is normal. It just happened to me too. I want the gas out of my oil system. It keeps foaming up by my oil cap, and sticks on my dipstick too.
I want to know if something has happened to my seals or when the gas will be out of the oil system.

Yeah, I don't think that it's normal...I haven't lost any power, and my mileage is okay. I really am worried though...if ANYONE else has ANYTHING that might be helpful, then PLEASE, by ALL MEANS, share it with us!
