Gas in the oil from leaky injectors ?
Anyone ever had this problem ? I thought it was the fuel pump, but I found out I have an electrical one and not a mechanical one. Only other thing I can think of is the rings.

Any time you either have a rich condition for an extended period or something like a leaky injector, you get gas in the oil. No ring is a 100% seal on the cylinder wall, so you always get something in the oil. That's why the oil turns black after 3000 miles.

I'm gonna try to get a compression test done tonight at the shop.
Whatever it is is getting a lot of gas in the oil. I changed the oil a couple of weeks ago with 20w50 and it's already thinned out a lot.... The color of the oil is also different than normal, it's not like a Wendy's frosty lol but you know how normal old oil is kinda dark brown and blackish? Mine is kinda grey looking.
