Engine cranks, no start, fuel leak

Hey guys I have a 92 rs 305 with a 5 speed in it. The car was running pretty good except it would over heat once in a while. One day I went to start it up and it was just cranking and not starting, and I could smell fuel. Well there was fuel dripping from the exhaust under the engine. And my oil smells like fuel. Any ideas? I pulled code 13 but I don't think that has to do with the problem. The engine was just running great the other day

A busted diaphragm in the reg allowing fuel to be sucked straight into the intake comes to mind.
Check the injectors are they leaking fuel ; KOEO ?

When you get this fixed you will want to get that oil and filter changed. FWIW.
