What causes gas to come out of exhaust pipe?
What has happened is that the float in your carburator is stuck open or is blocked open by dirt in the float bowl. When this happens, the fuel will feed through the carb, fill up your entire crankcase, and then exit through your exhaust. Unfortunately, this means that gas has also entered and corrupted your oil, too.
Why does my car’s exhaust smell like gas?
The fuel injectors or carburetor on your vehicle regulates fuel flow into the combustion chamber. If an injector or carburetor begins leaking fuel into the combustion chamber, it creates a rich running condition. This results in a rough idle and unburned gas making it into the exhaust, creating a gasoline smell in the exhaust.

Why does the spark plug only ignite so much gas?
The spark plug can only ignite so much gas according to how much air is present in the combustion chamber. If the engine runs “rich” with too much fuel, the excess fuel is unburned and escapes with the exhaust gasses into the exhaust manifold and the rest of the exhaust system.
