When a fuel injector is stuck open, the fuel will flood out. Gasoline will definitely get into the oil when this is the case.
or
Any time you realize that too much gas is getting into your engine oil, you should replace the piston rings and then replace the oil. See if this helps the problem, and if it does not, then investigate the many other possibilities as to why the fuel is leaking into the oil

My guess is worn down cylinder-wall-to-ring gap.

If there is no issue with Piston wall, newly seated rings I can't think of anything else.
Is the car driving/boost fine otherwise? How wide is piston-to-wall clearance?

Bad piston rings or you have a leaky injector. I would check injectors first.

With only 100 miles on it, the rings aren't worn in yet. Do a compression test. If the numbers are low, but even, either it needs more time to break in or your piston to wall clearance is too large. If only one is low, you have a more serious problem.

I'm with you, that looks like water. When I've smelled "gassy" oil it was a little thinner, but completely mixed and normal color. Unlike water that gives the milkshake & white streaks

Ok so I pulled the plugs out and the were black and wet with gas, all 4 were the same. I did a compression test and all four were in the 160 range. Fri I will do a leak down test.
