If you have gas coming from your header then you have SERIOUS issues. WHy would you even drive the car like that? The header is HOT and can ignite fuel. Thankfully having gas at the header is not possible. But oil is. Your valve cover is leaking. Which also means it may be leaking into the spark plug wells. Replace the gasket.
Replace your ECTS. It has a two wire connector. I have posted a video for this before.
Clean your Throttle body also
