Should I be worried? Anything I should check/test? Not throwing any codes, MAF is clean..

Some minute amount of gas can get passed the piston rings and end up in the oil when the rings get worn down but it will evaporate when at operating temp. If it's a strong smell then it could indicate a rich fuel mixture which could be a bunch of things faulty injector, dirty MAF sensor, faulty O2 sensor, coolant temp sensor not working properly, damaged piston rings which is rare. Have you seen a drop in your fuel mpg recently. pull the codes via obd and see if you have any pending codes and look at air fuel ratio also if the coolant level is good.
