Default NEED HELP: gas smell in oil cap

i have a 2000 trans am it has 92,000 miles on it. i have basic bolt ons(headers, borla, high flow cats, built 4l60e, midwest 3200 stall). i removed the oil cap after noticing that the oil was low and i put a quart in untill i change it to,arrow caus ei still have to drive to school. from the cap i can smell gas real bad. i was woundering what would be the most likley casue and how to check it. i also have a low efficency bank one code set and the service engine soon light is on. i know what the problem is there but im getting horrible gas milage now. before the stall i got 16-17mpg in the city because of the open loop from the engine code but now im getting like 12 mpg i know thats not from teh converter. so i narrowed the problem to leaky injectors? what do you think?

You probably have an injector leak
