Can anyone Diagnose this

This car wont idle at all...it revs to 3500 and dies unless i keep my foot on the gas...I decided to change the oil, but when i opened the oil filler hole, i could smell gas fumes...What is this.. Someone suggested oil seals, if this is it, how can i change them? And how can i stop the car from dying? Thanks

If you smell gas in your oil its prly because your engine is flooding. Make sure your turbo inlet duct is nice and snug up to your air flow meter. I had the same problem with my car before.

haha... the AFM is the air flow meter. It is the metal thing connected to you airbox. If you take out the airbox, you can get to the AFM and see if it is being stuck open.
