Unhappy 88 GXL problems

I have been searching the forums but I see some problems with the smell of gas inside the car. But another problem is I just took my car out of the shop for a flywheel, when i got it out i noticed that the oil pressure gauge is extremely high. i thought maybe it would go away but its been two days and nothing happened. Im thinking of just changing the oil. So if anyone can solve those two i would be grateful. i already have enough problems trying to fix this.

P.S. if there is any parts i need to buy (oh god) please let me know the name and where i can buy it. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Well as we all know (the ones of us who care more about the cars than image) theirs alot of ******** on this site and I do also suggest checking out the FAQ's because they would have the answers your looking for almost hands down 9 out of 10 times. My guess on the gas smell would be to check your fuel injectors first and im not too sure about the oil pressure thing, i would again check the FAQ's.

Could be the charcol (sp) cannister or pulsation dampener

And for the oil pressure, i read that some oil filters may cause the pressure to read differently depending on which one you have, i think it was in one of the stickys
