I have gas in my OIL!!!!

There is alot of it!! That is why I have low oil pressure I think. What is the first thing I should check and then after that?? The only thing I can think of is the fuel regulator?? Where is that located? How can one tell when they go bad?

If gas is in the crankcase, it has to be getting in somehow. I would say blown rings. Have a compression test done.

I agree you have some blow by. time for a compression test!!

the only other way i can think of is if your injectors are leaking after you turn the engine off and it is running down into the intake then into the cylinders and slowly draining past the rings. and I cant' imagine that giving you a LOT of gas in there.

how many miles on yoru engine and was it taken care of?? down on power at all? been spraying way to much N2O and fry a piston?

a stuck open/leaky injector will cause the oil to smell like gas, and it will wash down the cylinder as well...don't drive the car until you figure out what the problem is.

I second that Injectors, have them professionally cleaned. Don't buy new ones just yet until you know for sure.
