gas in the oil

Ok, I did my first oil change today, it was a bit overdue at 1300 miles but the dealer can't get me in for first service till the 14th.

I drained out the old oil and got a bit on my hand, just wiped it off and finished the change. After I was done my hand smelled like gasoline. I couldn't figure out where I got gas on me. I smelled the oil in the drain pan and it reeked of gas. Checking the oil level in the bike after a ride the dipstick smells like gas too.

Google searches tell be it's probably a faulty fuel petcock or the float in the carb is stuck open. Nothing about fi bikes.

What the hell is going on here? The only thing I've done is put slip on exhaust on her.
