If you also find an unusually long crank time for the engine to start, you might suspect a leaking injector. The raw fuel will leak out when the engine is off, and run through an open intake valve and past the piston ring into the oil pan.

Install a mechanical fuel pressure gauge and watch what happens after the engine is turned off.
