Check that the injectors are spraying well (it should be a fine mist) and that the cold start injector is not running constantly (also check its spray pattern). Also make sure nothing is holding the metering plate up (it should fall to the rest position freely and easily).
The only way on an FI car to be getting fuel in the oil sump would be for it to be getting past the rings or head gasket.
Did you have a hard time getting it started? Multiple attempts perhaps that may have left unburned fuel in the cylinders? If so, that could have gotten past the rings, and into the sump.
