[T3] gas and oil coming out of exhaust


This weekend I brought my Notch home from the shop and she ran beautiful
(all stock now except for the exhaust).

I jacked up the front and put the front left on jackstands to work on the
master cylinder.  I left her like that for about three hours.

When I took her off the jack and jackstands, I tried to start her to move
her and she would hardly start.  I noticed blue smoke (yes, oil I know)
coming from the exhaust and major erratic ignition, so I shut her off and
noticed that gas and oil were coming from my exhuast.  I figured that she
was flooded a little bit, so I waited until this morning, but got the same
thing.

Is it possible that I dumped all of the fuel from the fuel bowls into the
cylinders and drowned the spark plugs (hence the gas in my exhaust)?  What
do you suggest?  I didn't notice any gas in my oil, but I did find oil
coming out of the tailpipe.  Was that because the gas was washing out all of
the oil from the cylinders?

p.s.  Here's how I explained it to my wife:  "Nadine (my Notch) got a little
drunk last night (she had too much gas), so I couldn't get her to talk or
walk straight.  It gave her diahrrea and now she's hungover as hell.  I'll
have to take out her spark plugs and make her throw up a little.  She'll
feel better later."
