Easiest way is to remove the plugs and wind the engine over and watch over each plug hole to see if there is fuel being misted out of the hole more so than any of the other's.
If your not mechanically inclined I would book it in to a specialist to find the problem as it can't be doing the engine any good to have fuel in the oil as it thins it down which will cause premature wear

He said oil was fine and my mate was talking crap about oil in fuel and advised me that i should get a new panel filter clean out maf and clean out boost solenoid which took me around an hour to do , just got back from taking car on a blast and its spot on.

For future reference, if a cylinder or engine is being seriously overfueled it can wash away the oil protection on the bores and knacker your rings.
Happened to a friend of mine many years ago with a (I think) a newly built BDG engine which wasn't setup properly and didn't last one event.
