Gas Smell in Oil I Drained Out Today

Didn't have a gasoline odor the LAST time I changed the oil. There is NOT a gasoline smell coming out of the exhaust. Car is a '93 Aero.
Immediately before or after this last oil change (300 miles ago):
-- Had stuttering problem. Replaced plugs, still an occasional stutter (thinking DI cassette -- already cleaned contacts). THIS is the problem that I'm thinking would perhaps create this problem, since fuel would not be igniting in whatever cylinder is missing, and might seep down the cylinder and mix with the oil.
-- Did chains. Perhaps a little brake cleaner was in the sump and created this smell (not likely, I think);
-- Replaced leaky injector o-ring. Didn't run the car more than a couple hundred miles on the leaky o-ring, and there wasn't any FUEL leaking, just pressure;
Thoughts? Thanks for your input!
