So the leak was coming from around the transfer case/crossmember I can’t pinpoint the leak in the lines. And my buddy told me I could just take an air hose straight to the gas tank and force fuel into the line to find where it’s coming from.

You may have a fuel injector that is stuck in the open position. This could fill the affected cylinder with fuel and hydro lock it. This would explain the fuel in the oil. Is it possible that the fuel is leaking from the exhaust pipe near the transfer case. I would not try to start this vehicle until the source of the fuel leak is found.

Agreed, putting compressed air into a gas tank is not only stupid, it can create a bomb.
