you might have to give some more details on the car its self ,, ie the current spec including any mods done , has it been mapped , how many miles has the engine done ,,, fuel in the oil is normally due to it over fueling but its why that your looking for

I'd hazard a guess thats your issue right there mate. Get rid of it now.

It won't do anything good for your engine. Do you know what other mods it has done since it hasn't been mapped it might not be running right.

usual intake ?? they are ment to have a air box not induction kit
yes it sounds like you might have mods and not been mapped for them ,, this can cause the car to over fuel and the fuel pushes past the piston rings and gets into the oil

Not sure on how to uninstall the Bee r but in the link I posted Don had a wiring diagram. I would think its the reverse of that. Take some pictures of the wiring and I'm sure others will be able to assist.

Check if the cambelt is nearing end of life and needs changing... or at least check when it was last changed.
