There will always be a fuel smell to the oil, can I ask if the oil level keeps going up? If not, you may not have a problem. Can I ask how you determined there was gas in the oil? Please let me know. There is only one way for the gas to get into the oil and that is through the fuel injectors. Is the engine running okay?

Opps, yep that is not good. So, it sounds like the high-pressure fuel pump main seal is bad and leaking into the engine, here is how to change it out correctly. I would get a new pump not rebuilt. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
