Gas smell in oil+smoke at startup=leaky injector?

Like the title says, I have a gas smell in my oil and white smoke on startup. (after the car sits for a few days) the smoke doesnt smell like coolant at all. Could this be a leaky injector?? BTW, Ive done most of the coolant system checks (except for the pressure test) and I have rock solid temps. so I dont think that has anything to do with it.

thanks for any help!!

what is your fuel setup? What kind of emissions (if any) are you running?

Its pretty normal for this car to smell like a raw speed boat

yea that sounds about normal lol mine does the same exact thing, thats the price you pay for bigger injectors and no emissions.... if it was smoking all the time then you'd have reason to worry

Fuel diluting the oil is pretty much normal. Condensation (smoke) coming from the exhaust when it's dead cold is also normal.
