    Engine oil smells gasoline

    more than likely the gas smell in the oil is due to running to rich or a fuel pump starting to fail and dumping gas into the oil but could also be low compression because of worn rings . as for having to dump gas down the carb to get it running you probably have a leaking carb that is draining...
