I've read some of your posts. Is your exhaust color is normal, but your oil is full of gas? (did I read right?) It could be the injectors or injector is leaking while under pressure. I.e., every time you turn the key on, the injector is leaking. After a drive, it leaks until the pressure is relieved. Seals are not the problem unless there is gas around the outside of the injectors. Do the injector test as outlined in the book. Sounds harder that it is.. The hard part is SEEING the fuel...use a dark catch container. As per book, more than a drop or two from the injectors under pressure = replace. Replace the seals while you're doing this anyway, not expensive. Anytime working with fuel have a GOOD fire extinguisher on hand, ready to go! That's should be the source of your problem. Is the engine slow to start? or weird to start? Obviously, change that oil, and maybe do it again after that! Gas cannot be good for the crankcase, but what do I know. Good Luck, good hunting.
