Sounds like one or more of your injectors is leaking.I wouldn't run the motor anymore until you fix the problem and put fresh oil in.

Just to clarify for you, The MAF has nothing to do with the Fuel in the oil.

The MAF can be the cause of the rough running / cuting out above 3000.

Two seperate problems. Fix the fuel in oil first.

Is this the first time you've ever noticed the gas smell?
