ethanol in gas usually hurts seals. i doubt the little bit of gas that has got in the oil will hurt anything. its when you start getting a lot of it that things can go wrong quick but if your lucky you can catch it before any damage is done.
hopefully i cought it in time its a pretty strong smell lol. smells more like gas to me then oil. hoping its not more then 1000$ to fix then im screwed
spend $30 on an oil change and hope you caught it in time. it doesn't take much gas to make all the oil smell like gas. gas just has a very strong smell that transfers.
mechanic said the only way for it to happen is a stuck injector and he checked the fuel pressure and it looks good so keep an eye on it and ill get a tune up next week. he couldnt smell gas but me and my friend could maybe its just us.

Thats the prob. My friend GMC had the same issue and the throttle body injector was leaking bad, and the raw fuel washes off the oil film on the cyclinders walls and can premature wear the cyclinders and rings.
