I drove my 97 Chevy cavalier for a while knowing that I had a leaking injector. One morning she wouldn't start. so I did what I thought would be most logical. changed the fuel filter and the leaking injector but she still wouldn't start; I cranked it so many times, I killed the battery. While the battery is being charged I checked my oil and found it full with gas. After some research it became necessary to change the fuel pressure regulator even after that, the car was so flooded I had to take the plugs out and crank it few times to get the fuel out, unfortunately for me it still did not start, so I gave up and sent it to a mechanic; there was so much fuel around the exhaust the mechanic had to remove the exhaust pipes wash them of and put them back to get her started. I changed the oil twice immediately after. So I would say that gas in oil is definitely caused by a leaking injector or fuel pressure regulator. Could there be other reasons? most likely yes but these are worth considering.
