Possible gasoline in the oil, is it just a head gasket problem or more serious?

Hi there,

If the oil has not been changed in a long time it can start to smell fuel, the only way fuel can enter the oil is via a faulty injector that is spraying all the time, and you would have other issues if that was the case.
