If it is an older motor with a mechanical fuel pump,the diaphram in the pump could be ruptured,letting fuel drain straight into the crankcase.

Lots of short trips engine not warming up enough. Or leaking fuel injectors. Gasoline in the oil must be drained out because it dilutes the oil. And engine dammage can happen. Change the oil and allow ten minutes of running each time the car is started. You might take an additional trip down the freeway once a week to really warm up the motor and sniff the dip stick to see if the smell returns.

it is usually not good. if it is a big engine (350, v-8, etc) than it may not be that bad, look for signs of oil in your coolant ( in the radiator), this would be a sign that something is really wrong, like a blown head gasket, otherwise, change the oil asap, and look for it to come back.

there is excessive gas leaking down the cylinder walls sometimes caused by a stuck fuel injector or if u have a carb it is flooding or leaking down
get the oil changed and have it checked before you ruin your engine

It means you better find the culprit real soon or plan on replacing the engine! Gasoline breaks down the lubrication capabilities causing MAJOR damage to an engine! SOON ISN"T SOON ENOUGH if you know what I mean!
