when i high rev my engine why do i get a strong smell of gas fumes in the inside of the car i also have a problem with oil coming out of the oil cap why is that and is it normal

Also gas smell could be failing o2 sensors, trust me i know i have gone through 3 of them. Are you running a CEL?
 
There is also a canister that collects gas fumes and reroutes them back into the intake. This could be leaking.
