Default engine oil smelling of fuel

hi all

95 4.0 sovereign with 90000 miles.
just changed the engine oil and filter and noticed a smell of fuel after a couple of weeks after checking the dipstick. Got really worried but it' only been driven for small trips recently and it's been freezing cold here in norway with around minus 10 degrees. it' s parked in a garage but it' not very warm.

I checked my other cars as well, a Toyota prius and a Mazda and they both also smelled fuel from the dipstick. Nothing to worry about? change oil again asap and wait for warmer weather or what?
