Gasoline in oil....Please help!

So I was out riding the other day and a few miles from returning home my oil light comes on. I get home and take a look and the oil sight tube is past completely full, so something is wrong because I checked the level before the ride and it was normal. I drain some of the oil (the bike is completely cold at this point) and it smells like gasoline and looks a little cloudy. Also, possibly unrelated, I noticed that my coolant reservoir was almost empty & I just topped it off a couple weeks ago. The bike is an '07 Superduke with approx. 9,000 miles--any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

My next step will be to drain and refill the oil, then run the bike and hope the problem has magically fixed itself. Assuming it hasn't I'll try to ride it to the dealership 10 miles from my house.
