Gasoline in oil is not so dangerous as it sounds.
Germans used "Kallt-start" system in aviation engines, as they had not
developed such warming systems as we in Finland. They did add 10 - 15%
gasoline to engine oil for cold starting during east-front winter battles.
When engine warmed up, gaso evapored and vanished, and so oil was as thick
as before.
Well, it was those circumstances and obsolete oils, but a little amount of
petrol in engine oil will not explode engine.

Couldn't this be a failure of the fuel pump itself. My understanding it
will pump into the crankcase if there's a diaphragm problem.
