Probably a boost leak, its probably going lean and dumping fuel, hence fuel in oil, should probably change the oil once you sort it out. I would check for boost leaks, spark at each cylinder, and that none of the injectors are hanging open(This can be checked by pulling the fuel rail while leaving the fuel lines connected to it and priming the fuel pump with the jumper on the firewall for a second or 2, there shouldn't be any fuel coming out of the injectors, additionally there should be pressure behind the regulator if you took it off, if not the pump could be weak, which could be checked by pulling the return line and priming it, fuel should come out at a decent rate.) Obviously when checking the fuel stuff try not to make a mess or get sprayed in the face, etc. But my number 1 suspect would be a boost leak, check all the couplers are tight, make sure the injector O-rings are in place on the cylinder head. And if it has an adjustable CAS you should also check timing.
