I'm working on a 90 Audi 80 and I had to set the timing on the car which i think might be my issue.. anyways when i try to start it im noticing there is fuel getting into the top of the cylinder head just under the valve cover.. WTF would cause that???

valve seals, injector seals, along with inaccurate timing could cause gas to get by into the valve cover...never seen it before though.

Perhaps excessive blow-by combined with a clogged PCV?

Well I bought the car with no timing belt on it so it was my responcibility to take care of the timing.. Fortunately its a non-interfearence (sp) motor and no damage was caused to the valves.. I've finally got the timing set and all and then its one thing after another from there..
