So you saw the oil measure all the way up ? Way above normal ? You sure it was gasoline comming out of the actual exhaust pipe ? I saw something like this from a detroit monster that had carbs and electric fuel pump, gas was going out the exhaust and the engine filled up with gas. The float was stuck open and I was working on my ignition , while the pump kept pumping. When I cranked the engine fuel was forced out through the exhaust from the gas filled pistons . Also during cranking it was harder to turn cause gas is harder to compress than air and was forced down the crankcase via my rings. You have an EFI system on your car. The only way your car can get that much fuel in the engine is through the injectors. If your starter injector is stuck open all of the time this will do it. For this injector you can turn the ignition on and hear your pump pressurize your system take your air cleaner out, open your throttle and see if a spray mist is countinuously sprayin in there , that would be your starter injector stuck open or is always activated by miswiring. The hot side (+)should be hooked up to the starter solenoid and should ONLY activate when you are cranking engine. the other side is connected to the thermal time switch that only activates the ground (-) when cold. To check out the other injectors, get a 10mm little socket and little 1/4 inch rachet and remove an injector pair with cnnections and fuel lines connected. Place pair assembly in jar or coffee can and turn ignition on (do not crank and disconnect coil) , are they constantly spraying ? Do the other pair . If you wish to simulate the engine actually turning , remove the distributor and turn the bottom shaft whlie the injector connection is plugged into the distributor (again, make sure power is disconnected from the coil), while doing this you should see the injectors spraying on and off, also you can pump your throttle to see the injectors spray on and off. this will not simulate engine turning but the enrichment circuit will activate the injectors the same way. This proceedure will verify for you what is going on with the fuel exits on your engine. No injector should inject constantly except the starter injector when cranking only during cold days. I think the problem may be something miswired like injectors always on or on injector stuck way open and pouring in , sand stuck inside. Your engine should have not gotten damaged by this problem, fix your cause and replace your oil, do not crank your engine before correcting the problem, you do not want a big bonfire.
