Most likely you have a carb issue. Remove the carb(s) and supply fuel to them, when level, and see which is leaking. Drain and replace the oil, as it will be unable to lube properly.

Gas leak, engine light on

Gas or oil leak? Gas leak can turn the light on. Oil doesn't. Try to notice where the leak is under the car on the ground. Look under the car and see where the leak is on the frame. All this helps. Have the codes read.

I have a 2000 kawasaki ZR750 with a gas leak

the gas tap has a diaphram and plunger to turn off the fuel when the engine is stopped, this may be dirty, worn or the diaphram gone hard. If dirt has got into the carbs it must have gone through the gas tap.
clean it or get a gas tap rebuild kit

Gas leaking at crank shaft there is electrical connection below cranksaft puuy and is leaking from it.

maybe oil but not gas, frt crank seal may be bad, in order for gas to leak from there the oil pan would have to be filled with gas which is impossible because your engine would have blown by now, which out proper oiling, good luck,double check that leak.

My B&S Yard Machine shoots out white smoke it also leaks out oil and gas mixed

If this is a 4 cycle mower (seperate places for gas and oil) and you are using a oil and gas mix as I am reading from your post that is your problem. When you use a gas&oil mix in a 4 cycle you get smoke and if fouls your spark plug. Also be more specific where the oil and gas mixed is leaking from. I SUGGEST THAT YOU DRAIN OUT THE GAS&OIL MIX AND CLEAN THE SPARK PLUG OR REPLACE AND FILL WITH STRAIGHT GAS AND SEE HOW IT RUNS.

Good luck
