Default mild gasoline smell from oil on dipstick

Is it normal get a faint gasoline smell from the oil? I just put in a can of BG44K about a month ago, I'm worried that it might have caused some gas to leak into the engine oil compartment.

Perhaps, but when I open up a new bottle of Mobil 1, I don't get the same smell. At any rate, I think I'll change the oil out just in case. Thanks for your reply.
