Default 85 imp oil smells like gas

Hey guys, I have a 85 Impala with a 305 and cc-qjet.
I recently changed my oil about a week ago because it smelled like gas, and now it smells like gas again just not as strong as before.

I have an innovate a/f gauge that's reading around 15, if anything I'm running on the lean side so I know its not too rich. I also replaced a leaking fuel pump with the crap mechanical airtex for 16$.

What would cause gas to mix with my oil?

Thanks,
Clint

I can't see anything other than the fuel pump being the trouble.
