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
 
For the oil cap it could just be the gasket around it, they're cheap just go pick up a new one. And for the gas smell do you have any of your egr system removed/blocked off?
 
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.
 
ok i appericate the help i found out the fuel leak was in the fuel pump seal leaking a
 
ok i appericate the help i found out the fuel leak was in the fuel pump seal leaking and i got a new oil cap and it was the end of the leak so thanks for the help
