Ive been trying to get my car to run and I checked the oil and it is somewhat runny and smells like gas. What would cause this?

HI there,

If this is with the oil cold, you may have a leaking fuel injector, check for a spark plug that is black and sooty as this will be a good indication that an injector is faulty, start here.
