My car won't start. There is gasoline mixing with the oil. What is causing this to happen?

I had several mechanics look at the car. They all have different opinions on why I am having this problem. Fuel is getting to the engine. When the dipstick for the oil was pulled, there was way over the full mark. The mechanic who discovered that said there was gasoline in the oil. I am a female who knows nothing about engines or cars. I need help.

Have fuel pressure leakdown test done. Could be bad injector.

Check to see if there is an oil slick in the radiator fluid. If there is and also a slight foaming in the oil, chances are better you have a leaking cylinder head gasket.
