Wow, smells like gas?
That sounds like a pretty bad leak.. The only thing I could imagine getting into your oil would be antifreeze due to a cracked block.

If it smells like gas could he have fried his piston rings and they are now letting the fuel get behind the pistons and into the oil circulation?
