Default I have searched but no luck

Ok fellas I got a question. I have searched all over the net and all the mustang sites but cant find anything that helps me out. I recently had a very very slight tic tic from a roller rocker so i pulled the intake to tighten it a bit. When doing so i found that the gasket between the upper and lower was soaked with gas (and i mean could see the gas on the gasket and surface of lower). The only thing i could find by searching was that maybe gas was leaking from fpr through vacuum line. I checked and rechecked and it is fine. Is this a common thing ( which i wouldnt think would be) and if not what is going on. Any help on this issue would be great. Thanks guys. Here is car:

is there also gas in your vacuum lines? usually this means you blew the daiphram out of the FPR

No there is no gas in vacuum lines. I have checked the fpr. There has to be something else. Please help

I dont think injectors are leaking. Have checked them and everything looks fine. The car runs great doesnt seem to have any driving or power issues. Its just like the gas is trying to blow throught the gasket. I just dont understand how the gas is going up the intake when the air is coming in. lol

Is it in the intake or outside the intake? Are you positive its gas or could it be oil? And finally check your charcoal canister and make sure it isnt full or if you have it deleted make sure the line that went to it isnt going to your intake because you will get gas from that.

It is inside the lower intake. It is definatly gas. Charcoal canister is gone and line doesnt run to intake. I have searched everywhere and cant find anything. I know it can just be me or can it. lol
