Re: gas smell in oil
Not sure of your motor but your fuel pump diaphram could be leaking or your carb could be leaking. Oil shouldn't smell like gas, you have real problem. I heard about a electric fuel pump that stayed on and hydrolocked a motor on a very expensive show car. Not trying to scare you but...

Re: gas smell in oil
Probably blow-by from worn out piston rings.

Re: gas smell in oil
I got the same problem in my T.B. injected 454. Plus I burn about a quart every 2-3 weeks.I cant think of any thing else but worn rings either. Thats about the only way the gas could get in the crank case is past the rings.

Re: gas smell in oil
If it was flooding @ some point, gas more than likely has gotten in to the crankcase. It's not the end of the world but it's not a good situation either. An oil change ASAP is in order. It's not good practice to continue operation of the engines internals w/diluted lubrication abilities.
If the situation returns, then I would start digging to the motors condition further (blow by/poor ring seal, carb leaks, fuel pump, etc....).

Re: gas smell in oil
ive had this happen to me a few times and its always been a bad fuel pump.. change it and do a oil and filter and it should go away. This has always been on a carbueratored motor
