No idle, oil in gas. Help!
Okay so i have an 87 gxl and i had a bad fuel leak coming from the main fuel line under the intake, so i replaced it and got it all back together but now it wont idle. when it starts, it jumps up like a normal start but it wont hold anything unless i give it about 1/3 throttle and keep it around 4000rpm, and my other problem is that im getting an insane amount of oil in my gas which is causing it to smoke like you wouldn't believe. Like after 20 secs of running, i cant see. Ive tried looking in the manual and in the Haynes but i couldn't fin the answer to my problem. any help would be greatly appreciated

Ive done that 3 times. I just cant seem to find where i went wrong. other than the oil metering pump, how else would there be oil getting in the gas?
And i think ive come to the conclusion that the bad idle would be because I reused the intake gasket.. Any other ideas people?

on a whim i decided to see if there was any coolant in my oil, and after letting it run for like 10 seconds. (i have to give it 1/3 throttle since it wont idle) i turned of my car and checked my oil dipstick, i found little white bubbles.. it seems like i may need a rebuild...
