Default oil leak and gas leak when fueling

Hi I have had an oil leak in my car for awhile now it's not really bad but I replaced the oil pan gasket thinking that was it but it wasn't my anti- freeze is kinda milky looking. Now when I fuel my car the gas leaks out somewhere when it's over fueled the pump usually shuts off when it gets full. Now when it over fills it leaks? I have no clue whats up can anyone help me???

Definitely sounds to me like you've got a blown head gasket. That would be the reason why your antifreeze is milky looking. I'm not very qualified in telling you how to go about getting this fixed, but my brother's blown two of them so I know the symptoms. It's expensive to fix, that's for sure. Good luck with that.

Yep, you need a new head gasket. As for the gas thing, it should not leak. If you watch how much you fill it does it still leak? Where is it leaking from?

The filler neck. You can probally get one from the junkyard. Other than that I believe its a dealer item and is not gonna be cheap.

Yeah, junk yard would be your best bet. That's where my car leaks too. Those things rust away because they're not exactly being sheilded from the elements.
