My oil smells like gas ?

Fuel dilution of oil over time on a rotary is common. A characteristic of the engine to some extent, but agravated by heavy/bad porting, forced induction (which apparently you have), leaking/dirty injectors, old plugs, poor timing etc. A reason why regular oil changes at somewhat closer intervals than a piston engine are recommended.

So,If the car has flooded itself,then the gas has now here to go,Hence the oil smelling like gas.
Gas With the oil is a bad thing as it will wash the oil off of parts that need to be lubricated..So Change the oil and BE Safe!
