I recently noticed a gasoline odor in my crankcase oil. The car doesn't get driven much. But runs smoothly and doesn't overheat. The coolant is clear and un contaminated.
Any ideas?

How often do you change oil and filter? With mechanical fuel pump, the fuel pump could be leaking?

Do you have a lot of blowby? Sometimes, you can get the engine warmed up, remove oil fill cap, if it puffing smoke like a freight train, your rings aren't sealing. Do you have a pcv valve on this?
