What could cause you to have fuel in the oil?

Usually either fuel pump leaking into engine case or float valve on carb not closing. Does engine seem to be flooded if you try to start it a few minutes after cutting it off? If so, suspect carb.

Weird, I had the Same problem with my 914, The injectors would stay on... But I don't know if you have injectors....

So it's a minor fix, not like a crack in the motor?

Dont run the engine until you fix the problem and change your oil.

One of the fastest ways to kill an engine, fuel in oil.

yes - should be simple. That fuel will thin the oil down and ruin the bearings if you don't fix the problem and change the oil.
