Default b18c1. high idle and oil smells like gas, blow-by??

Like title says, I have a hatch with b18c1 swap, high idling (around 1500-2000 rpm sometimes 1000). Oil really smells like gas too. Car drives fine though, I'm not feeling any misses oe hickup. Also I think it might be burning oil, but have olny had the car a week. Do I have blow by at the pistonrings? How long can I expect this to last before I have to pull the motor? And if I fix this will I need to rebore the block and get new internals or would new piston rings and gaskets be sufficient? Thanks for all the answers
