Default YFZ Fuel in the oil??

A friend of mine said that when he has checked his oil there has been a couple times the oil was to the very top of his dipstick. He thinks his fuel is somehow getting into his case?? Has anyone else experienced that problem. I would think the only way that could happen is thru a vent hose, maybe a sticking float. Anyway just wondering

Fuel can also get into the oil through the cylinder. If he leaves the fuel valve on when parked and the carb runs over it could flow trough the rings into the oil. I've seen this on cars that have a carb that is flooding over.
