Recently my car began to put gas over in to the motor oil and cooling. What could cause this problem?

The gas is fairly well isolated from the oil and coolant. Are there any other symptoms?

I suspect that you have the 3.8 engine, and that you may be getting exhaust into the oil and coolant. This would be an indication of a failed head gasket.

My car has a 3.0 lsingle over-head cam engine. A guy that works on cars told me that it could be my fuel pressure regulator going bad. As for the head gasket there is no antifreeze in the oil and the car still runs great. But when I check the antifreeze the radiator cap blows out of my hand like its still hot but the car has sat over night.
Thanks for taking the time to help me with this problem

Change and monitor engine oil
if oil level raising you have a leaky injector
do a code check do you have any misfiring codes
and if so check injector at so cylinders

good luck
