I gathered this information from 2carprosJack.

The only place I can think of that fuel will get into the oil is from a blown fuel pressure regulator. Should be on the fuel rail with a vacuum line to the intake, remove it and check for raw fuel in the hose.

You are correct in thinking that the thinning of the oil is causing the burning of the oil. I hope things work out for you.
