This is typically either piston or valve seal blowby. common on turbo cars as they age. This can also happen if you have a injector that leaks after car shuts down.

Well to much of this is not normal. To much gas in the oil can reduce the oils effective viscosity. I would do a compression check. If it looks good then your probably alright, mmay want to use 1 level heavier weight oil.

It's almost winter so there is no point in running a 40 weight oil. Just change your oil and report back. Dack

Does your oil cap(after a drive) still smell like gas now that you changed your oil?
