Chevrolet Cavalier Gas Problem

What would cause gas to get in the oil? It's not running rough or have any power loss, it starts to tap as it gets warmer..

How do you know you have gas in the oil. Gas would cause your cylinders to wash down and you would have low compression. You may have worn lifters or need to change to heavier oil.
