Question Gas in Oil

I have a 1991 Oldsmobile 98. When i got the car i knew there was gas in the oil, however a mechanic that had worked on it said he replaced 3 bad injectors that were constantly open, so i figured an oil change would be all i needed. I changed the oil; same problem. I replaced the injectors with new ones; same problem. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator; same problem.

The car is running on all six cylinders, and the spark plugs look good. However, i changed my oil last night and today i'm already losing oil pressure and have to stay on the throttle just to keep the car running. I'm also getting terrible gas mileage. My next step is to either run a compression check or replace the lower intake manifold (where the injectors are located). I have been advised that these sometimes crack allowing gas into the oil. Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx,

zmanss
