Was wondering why my oil smells like fuel? Would it have anything to do with my fuel leak near the gas tank?? Or what could it be?

If you read this book you will see the tank is in the back of the car and your oil is in the front of your car Unless you have oil dripping from your ITB inside the plenum area then yes it can be possibble

Maybe your plenum gasket where the ITB and head is leaking either through your valve cover gasket or if you have a line that runs from your valve cover to your intake

What someone has told me your car is probably running RICH on fuel and if you continue to run it like that you will spin a bearing .... wether its crank or cam ... so you might need to get your car tuned by a mechainic and a machine so you arent running so rich .... Good luck bro !!!!

Good luck bro !!!! Not gopign to spin a bearing, but you WILL kill the rings and cause blow by. I told him take it to Gino and do a Compression test to make sure it hasen't already happened.
