Gasoline in oil pan

Hello everyone. Has anyone ever found gasoline in the oil during an oil change?
A friend believes that it could be an injector(s) leaking after shutdown.
I'm not up to speed on injectors, thus, here I am. Any comments/suggestions
will be greatly appreciated!

The only way i can think gas can get in the oil is engine off and an injector leaking enough gas for you so see it in the oil. But if it is stuck open you would be noticing engine performance problems. Sure it was gas??

Yes. Smells very strong. My buddy, who worked at a Toyota
dealer years ago said the same thing (about a stuck injector).
However, the car has been running fine. Nothing noticeable that
would cause immediate concern, except that fuel is diluting
the oil, and my wife had problems starting it the other day.
Believe me, the smell is overpowering!
I guess I have to replace the injectors then. Ouch! 80 dollars a piece!
Thanks for your tip.
