Message If you have all this fuel coming out, you might want to read some of the threads just recently about a guy who actually hydrolocked his car with just one leaking injector o-ring. No point in cranking it continuously...

It definitely could be o-rings, which is why the question is are ALL your plugs wet. First place to at least check visually for leaks as already suggested by zx299. So do that. But if it is cranking and not starting, sounds like all your plugs will be wet.

If you are fairly certain that you have spark, I think while you are checking your plugs to see if they are wet, you should do a compression test. If you have fuel, spark, compression, it will start. (Just a way to verify all the elements are there.)

The compression test will also tell you what holes the gasoline is going down. Your rings will be washed completely if you have actually sent that much gas out the exhaust. Sounds like since it isn't starting, so as I said, all holes would have gasoline in them. So your compression numbers may be a little lower due to that fact.

Once you know you've got good compression, and with washed rings it might go pretty low (90 maybe or even lower), you can move onward.

And, as per all the other recent threads with people who have been pumping fuel in to their cylinders that isn't getting burnt, this fuel will go by the rings and will therefore be in your oil. Once you resolve this problem, changing the oil and filter will be necessary.
