changed oil 2000 miles ago. there is more oil in it on the stick. drained it out and there was over 2 gallons, I think it is fuel. where could I check to find fuel getting into the crankcase? this vehicle has the spider fuel injection. it has been replaced before... last year....

check to see if the fuel pressure is correct it may be leaking through injectors. if you shut it off and it drains down quickly then it may be that. Also if you do very short drives like a mile or less then shut car off than that will do it as well. If that is the case once a week drive on eway for 20 miles at least
