Fuel in the oil of 2000 Dodge Neon??

Checked my G/f's oil in her 2000 Dodge Neon and it had an unmistakeable gasoline smell...What do you think could cause this?? Bad injector seals? Worn Piston rings?? Anyone please help!!!

Is it burning oil? If so, suspect the rings. If not, it could be a bad injector. Is it running rough, mising on one cylinder? Check the color of the plugs. If this isn't it it could be a bad coolant temp sensor (controller thinks the engine is cold and enrichens the mixture).
