There no other way fuel can get down there?

Where did you check the coolant ? In the overflow tank ? that will only be an indicator if the radiator cap is sealing properly. If it does not the tank might indicate a proper level while the radiator can be empty and leak completely out if there is another hole
To check if the valves are sealing properly just connect a transparent hose to the carb drain outlet on the bottom and point the other end up. Open the screw valve that closes that drain valve and observe the fuel level. If the tank is valve is in the on position and good as well as the float valve is working fine the fuel will level. You can then switch to prime. If the level does not change your float valve is good. Be careful here if the level is higher than the main jet it will leak into the intake. So open slowly and if you see it’s getting to that point stop.
But if its gas in your oil wiit ll smell like gas So its easy to understand whether its gas or something else.
