A leaking injector when the engine is off can dump fuel into the cylinder, which gets past the rings into the oil.

Must be coming from the injectors. Either leaking or running rich.

I don't see where else the fuel could get into the oil.

Do a compression check of all cylinders, make sure that they are within 10% of each other. You may have some bad rings letting fuel pass by the rings getting into the oil.

Re: fuel in oil problem?!?!?!

you intake gaskets may not be properly seated allowing fuel to leak past the intake port on the head and directly into the oil galley...
