I have a 2001 ford mustang gt and its running rough and blowing a lot of white smoke that smells like gas when I start it. Also, the oil has a little bit of a gas smell. What could be wrong?

Could be leaky injectors or the fuel pressure regulator

White smoke usually indicates coolant in the combustion chamber, such as in the case of a blown head gasket.

Did the engine run hot before this white smoke started?
Is this a 3.8L engine?

Have it tested for combustion gases in the cooliing system.
