Ok i have a recent rebuilt motor... its got about 1600 miles on it!
Well i just put in a wide band and my car is running lean.. at idle it is around 15 and goes up to 17, and off the meter! at cruising its at around 14.2-15.2! At WOT its stops at 10.0 solid, dont in think it goes any further! WELL i know this is probably caused by the boost leak i have and cant find!!

BUT i checked my oil and its way above the full line and is really runny and smells of gas!!
Now i did a compression check about an hour ago and going from time belt to the CAS it read, (1)148-150-151 (did it three times) (2)160, (3)165, (4)165 Now i know specs is 150psi... but the i heard it could go down to 140psi with no real problems!(not sure how true this is)

But my main question is, how did this gas get into my oil if the compression is good??
im not really running rich, says my wideband, inless under WOT!

Just trying to figure this out!

thanks for the help in advance!
 
Are you sure its gas.. Rebuilt engines sometimes take a while to get all the crap out of them.. I wonder if your wideband is reading wrong and your running richer than you think.. You can also have a stuck injector causing it to leak onto the piston and as it sit it could leak into your oil...
 
check your #1 fuel injector, it may be leaking raw fuel down the cyl and washing the rings so they do not seat properly.

Next, pull the vac line from the FPR and sniff it and see if you smell gas, then just watch the FPR vac lin and have someone just cycle the key till the fuel pump cycles on and see if raw fuel comes out.

if the FPK apperes ok, put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail, cycle the FP till max non run pressure is reached and watch the gauge and see how fast it bleeds down, if it zeros in a few secons, I would say bad fuel injector...
