Gas in oil and weird gunk under the oil cap?

Gas in oil I think can be pretty bad for your bearings/cyl walls. I would change the oil and let the oil slowly drip out with the drainplug still barely in and look for water/coolant. If all checks out good get some fresh oil in there and filter, clean that cap, and take it for a spirited drive

Looks to be your tipical blow head gasket ...... does thedip stick look the same s the oil cap ....... have fun doing a head gasket job ... fyi have the heads rebuilt while there off ( never hurts)

If your oil looks similar to that or a milky color when you change it, I'd suspect head gaskets. My oil cap tends to look like that after some time and cold weather. The oil comes out looking like oil though so I don't worry too much about it. Also check your coolant to make sure nothing is mixing there.
The gas smell IS a concern as you are fouling plugs and gas smell is in the oil. I'd suspect leaky injector and would be bad for cylinder walls as previously mentioned. Since you know which plugs are fouling, do an injector swap and move those leaky injectors to the front and see if the plugs in front follow. Replace them ASAP if the problem follows or you could find yourself with a bigger repair bill.

Ahahaha.
I had a similar problem driving in the humid minnesota summer, after a few thousand miles I would get a little buildup from water condensation rising to the top of the engine. Just clean it off, change your oil, and see how it looks. I moved to Arizona, and its dry, and I haven't seen a smidge of pudding under my oil cap

Yeah... Test your compression. Then you're gonna want to buy some headgaskets, radiator flush, engine flush, valve cover gaskets, plugs, oil, oil filter, and get to work changing those headgaskets.
The dire issue isn't your plugs or the fact that you're loosing compression; it's the fact that you're filling your crank-case with water, and that takes away the lubrication qualities of your oil.
In short, don't drive it anymore until you have it fixed.
