Mine is always full of fuel. Replaced both pumps and same thing next oil change. So I just change the oil every 10 hours. I'm glad it's not going into the engine. I don't have drains so I suck it out and fill it with a syringe and small hose. It's been fine for years. Also, there isn't anything coming out the vent. Quick Silver HP Gear Oil.

Yep, mine always did as well. Oil was never diluted or level rose, just smelled like gas. Changed it twice a yr to be safe and never an issue.
