Default Gas in oil?

Just checked my oil and it noticeably smelled like fuel. Level was possibly up a tiny bit from the last time I checked a couple days ago, not sure. Anyway I heard it could be fuel pump of an injector leak. Whats the best way to diagnose this problem? If I have to pull the injectors or pump how do I tell the problem when I see it? Thanks in advance anyone who helps .

If it's a stock system you should be getting a CEL.If it's been chipped then any thing's possible.You can pull spark plugs and see if one is different than he others.This will tell you if one injector is bad.A fuel pump rarely gets richer it usually gets leaner.

Could be from blow by. Your rings might be starting to go bad. How many miles are on your motor?

Edit: Sorry I said nothing to worry about... Not what I meant.

Yes.If it has bad injectors and you replace them you we will be back in business.You should see a difference it the spark plug if the injectors are bad.

Fuel in your oil is a dangerous thing! Fuel in the oil breaks down the oil looses its properties and turns thin. The reason for this is exessive engine blow by. Check for pcv operation and possibly replace and also do a dry and wet compression test to confirm it is the rings. Also check injectors to see if one is not intermittently sticking... as one user said pull the plugs and see if you can narrow it down to a paticular cylinder.
