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.
