For close to a year. I have noticed smoke coming out of the exhaust and when I change to oil I an getting alot more than I put in, and you can smell gas in the oil. I put in 4 quarts and get close to 2 1/2 gallons back after a week depending on how far I travel. I can tell when it's time to change the oil when I hear the pistons makes a knocking noise, and my exhaust smokes. I recently changed the spark plugs and one was very gummed up and black. I have been told it was a fuel injector the was dumping gas into the cylinder. The book I have does not show step by step how to get to the injector. I am not a mechanic but have do work on my car.
So my questions are First what can be causing the oil to gather gas.
Second how can I get a repair manual ( video preferred ) that will show me step by step on how to repair these issues and all other repairs

I need to get to the heating core to exchange it as well, so I need to know how to get to it.

Is it bronco or bronco II
what is the engine size
do you have a fuel pressure gauge
if so check fuel pressure and check if pressure hold after key off
if not then its most likely fuel pressure regulator or fuel injector

Thank you for the information, But I am not a mechanic and need some more details on how to remove all engine parts to get to the fuel injector, a DVD car manual that can show me step by step. And as far as the heater core can you send a diagram showing how to, I have tried before but can never find the 5 screws that attaching heater core access cover to plenum assembly.

Thanks
