I would guess blown crankshaft seal, cylinder gasket, or head gasket.

The bottom of the cylinder is bolted to the crankcase. That's where the cylinder gasket is.
The head is bolted to the top of the cylinder. That's where the head gasket is.

A compression check should be done to check the head gasket. Removing the engine would enable a visual check of the cylinder gasket.

The excess fuel also makes it sound like the fuel pump has a ripped diaphragm that is leaking down into the engine.
