I recently went to leave work tonight just to have the "CEL" come on and the engine to start running rough. I went back to the shop and pulled the dipstick to find the smell of gas...removed the fill cap and had a strong smell of gas. need HELP...I did check all my plugs becuase I recently installed new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor, all appear to be ok but my spark is a real light orange...not the blue i think it shoud be.

the only way to get gas in the oil pan is to have blown head gasket or bad piston rings. check the CEL see whats wrong

I'm not sure how a blown head gasket could lead to gas in the sump, but I agree that a ring is a possibility. I'm surprised it could be that much, that fast.
Does anybody at work hate you?

By now, I figure you've drained the oil. What did you find?
