How much gas are we talking about? Are you sure it's not just condensation, mixed with the scent of your exhaust? There aren't that many reasons why you would be getting gas out your exhaust. Incomplete burn of the air/fuel. Sparkplug(s) not firing.
Pull your dipstick, see if you have any fuel smell in your oil.

i agree, i'm thinking you're just seeing condensation with the scent of fuel, mine does it also. it's pretty norm during start up

Do a compression check.

5 gallons in 5 minutes is pretty fast. Are you sure you don't have a fuel line leak that is dripping on or into the exhaust pipe?
