Default Fuel in Oil

Hey guys, I haven't touched this car since August, thats when i had it run last time until few days ago. Yesterday I let the car warm up and then shut it off. Today i checked oil and found it to be very gray and smelling a lot like fuel, so i drained it and it was gray. Any idea what could cause fuel in oil? Also i jumped fuel pump today to do a 30 second pump rate, in the manual it says i should have 750ml or 850ml/30sec. well i was getting over a litter. Is my pump broken and pumping too much?

thanks

how do i check to make sure those are bad? I am going to replace O2 sensor anyways because the one that was on there was original and i had really hard time taking it off as it was rust welded on heh. as for leaky injector, well i had the pump running while fuel rail was out and no injectors leaked

Are you sure it's not water? I don't know that gas will cause oil to look grey. I realize that doesn't explain the smell, but I thought I'd ask.
Good luck
