1999 Protege Gasoline smell in oil

Hallo
I bought a 99 Protege for CA$1K as a spare car with 213kms on it. I am noticing a strong gasoline odour when I pulled the dipstick and drained the oil. If anyone has an idea what could be causing this please reply to my post. I can also smell this odour in the air around the car when it is running so it is probably coming from the exhaust also. The car starts fine and everything though. Only thing I have noticed is that it idles a bit high when in neutral or park but not sure if this is normal.
Thanks
