Smell of gas in Oil

I have an 03 Evo VIII with full bolt ons and 800cc injectors. Car currently has no tune and is running extra rich. Checked the oil level only to find it smells like straight gas.. What does this mean?

Fuel getting past the rings and contaminating the oil. Get it tuned.

time to tune, I see you're in NJ, consider doing a remote tune from TSCOMP

Tri-State area has a ton of reputable tuners/shops if he can't or doesn't want to remote tune.

That said, I have heard nothing but good things from TScomptuned.

Change the oil first. Fuel acts as a solvent in oil and will lead to spun bearings.
