I have a 1199 and it seems gas is mixing into my oil (i can smell the gas on the oil fill plug) Oil level is also high (above the sight glass). What could be the problems and what should I start checking.

Tough to say, but you could have an injector sticking open from bad injector or ecu failure. I wouldn't run it until you figure out as you could hydrolock the motor if it's dumping enough in. Not to mention the increased wear from the diluted oil.
I had this happen to me once on an 5.0 Mustang I used to have a long time ago. It was that particular pin on the ECU that failed giving it constant power and holding the injector open.
