Subject:Riddle me this, Batman - Gas in my oil??? 77 Westy 2.0L

Well, it's been sitting since 2009 and has been started occassionally to move around the parking area at my house. Now bear in mind there is not a flat level spot anywhere in my yard to park it, so it's been tilted at different angles.
I insured it today and drove it to the gas station to fill it up. When I went to check the oil, the dipstick was way over the full line. I thougth that was odd, so smelled it, and it smells of gas. Leaky injector?? I can't figure how this would happen on a stock 2.0L F.I. engine? Never happened to me before, but I'm sure it's to do with it sitting for so long??? I'm changing the oil right now, but it ran beautifully with tons of power to the gas station and back.
Dazed and confused,
Courtney
