Default HELP, gas in my muffler????

After replacing my intake manifold and screwing up my timing I finally got it working again thanks to the help of many here. Howevery it ran and not bad but though it needed timed.

After I parked it I smelt gas in the garage the next day and noticed a puddle under the car and though my gas tank was leaking but had gas dripping out the muffler. It was as though a bunch of gas accumlated in the passager side muffler I guess while I was driving it.

Is this caused by some plugs not firing, what should I check :confused:

Me thinks its not coming from your engine, but from the leaking gas tank.

Check the gas tank vent hoses on the top of the tank. It could be the fuel line. One of these lines has a leak and is leaking on the top of your muffler. :eek:
