Gas in the oil, HELP :(

[lexan_122874 at hotmail.com (Lexan Blanchard)]

Well, winter decided to return today, which ended any ideas I had to garden, 
or clean up the Purple Martin gourds (birds are here and calling me a slum 
lord for not taking care of their residences), so off to retrieve the Rocco 
from the meadow (where she was banned to last week).

Still trying to finish cycling out the old gas, and figuring I am getting 
close.  Also, I figured out what went pop-whooosh last weekend (loose hose 
clamp, hehe).  Tried starting several times and ran the battery low (GOTTA 
find the short or bad wire, darn it).

I have noticed a gassy smell every time I try to start, so, figured I better 
poke around a bit.  Pulled dipstick (don't ask me why I started here), and 
the "oil" just dripped off.  Figured this couldn't be good since when I 
looked at it last it was oil.  Smells like gas, has consistency of gas 
(maybe a bit thicker) and color of fresh oil :(  Even with my limited 
knowledge, I KNOW this isn't good.

So, how is this much gas getting into my oil?  What is my next step?  All 
ideas and help are SUPER appreciated, as every day that passes puts her 
visit to Cincy less likely.

Thanks all!
