Default Need Help Badly

Ok, here is my problem...I bought a 90 LS Auto Teg from my buddy to use as a daily driver. He only drove it about 5,000 miles in the 1 to 1 1/2 yrs that he had it. While he had it it wouldn't start at one point and he took it in to have it fixed and they told him that the ignition system was all messed up and that it consisted of parts from different models and years so they replaced the distributor and a few other things and it was good to go. Well i then bought it and have put about 10,000 miles on it in about 6 months and i am starting to experience problems. I noticed a bit of a pinging sound like the timing was advanced to much so i checked it and the distributor is turned all the way to the left and the markings on the crank pulley and timing belt cover don't match but my buddy said they told him it was good to go. Then it started leaking anti-freeze out the back of the motor somewhere and i haven't been able to locate where yet but i happens after i drive with the heater on for about 30 min or more. Then i smell gas once i park after driving for a while. I will park, go inside somewhere, come back out and smell it as i walk up to the car, open the door and smell it also. So i looked at the injectors and things of that sort and one of the injectors is wet and around the intake manifold where the injector goes in is all wet looking. And last but not least i changed the oil and when i went to refill it to the right amount, which reads 3.7 quarts, it took 4 quarts to show up on the dip stick and 5 to get to the full line....wtf!!! Now there is oil all over the valve cover which i have no idea where it is coming from.

So, what should i do about the timing, the oil, the injector, and the anti-freeze issue?

Sorry about the long story and thanks for any help in advance.

omg 5 qts is waaay too much bro. if you changed it with the engine was hot, then maybe oil was still in the engine, so you added waaay too much. as for the anti freeze-i wouldnt think it should ever be around behind the engine w/o a cracked block..but im no expert. good luck.
