How do you fix lawn tractor when the gas is going into the oil?

This is caused by the float needle not sealing properly. To fix it right you will need to remove the carburetor and at the minimum give it a good cleaning. Depending on what you find once you are in there you may have to get a rebuild kit and rebuild it. If it still runs good and only leaks the gas through when it is not running you can get by with just putting a inline fuel shutoff valve in the gas line and shut the gas off when you aren't using the tractor.
Of course my preference would be the repairing of the carburetor. Once you do that you don't have to worry about remembering to shut off the valve or turn it on when you want to use it.

What causes oil to come out of your lawn mowers muffler?
The problem I had was oil and gas flowed out the muffler on my snapper 11 hp lawn tractor. To fix it I had to drain the oil and get a new plug. The issue that caused it was I needed a shut off valve in the gas line to stop the gas frome running back into the engine and eventually getting into the oil causing it to gush out the muffler with a lot of smoke. It is an easy fix and it now runs as smooth as new. I hope this helps you
