That would depend on what kind of fuel system the engine has. Engines with a carburetor/s have a float bowl that contains fuel and floats that operate a valve that the fuel passes through into the bowl. If the floats stick open, raw fuel can seep into the crank case past the rings. Engines with fuel injection can have leaky or worn out injectors causing the same problem.
