If perhaps you had been driving for a sustained period on a terrace or face of a hill...or had the machine jacked up on one side for maintenance ... these could cause a problem.  If NOT, you're probably looking at a strip-down to figure out exactly what's wrong.  But it sure doesn't sound healthy!!!   Sorry!!!

How did you determine that there was oil in the gas? Does it have a slippery residue when you rub some between your fingers? Put some fresh fuel in and see what happens.

The flooding is likely due to a carb problem. Try fresh gas first, then check and clean, and rebuild if necessary, the carb.

Problem - needle is sticking in carb. allowing fuel to run into the base.  Seen this alot this summer in many lawn tractors.  Remove carb and clean and replace needle and seat.
