If the regulator is leaking, fuel is getting sucked into the intake and flooding the engine. You need to replace the regulator and change your oil because it is contaminated with fuel. <---Not good.

The diaphram in the regulator has gone south for the duration. Go to AutoZone and get a new one for $24.95 + tax. The part number is GP-Sorenson 800 122. Beats replacing the whole fuel rail.
