So you don’t have milky oil and are not losing coolant so that can be eliminated

you are not gaining or making oil and can not smell fuel in the oil.

the safest thing would be send a oil sample to black stone labs and see what they find.

is it possible that there is nothing wrong with your oil. I mean it always seems thicker when you are pouring it than when it drips off the end of your dipstick. I think it is a psychological thing that dirty oil just makes us think it is bad when it may not be.
@V8srfun FWIW, I went through that when I did one of my first oil checks one Spring. "That oil looks awfully thin!". Smelled dipstick "could be diesel smell..maybe..." OMG. Fuel in oil..WTF.....
Oil sample taken, sent off....

NOTHING wrong. Nada.

Purely in the head (the one between the shoulders, not the one on the injection pump). But - better be safe and have the oil analyzed.
You mileage may vary.
