After cleaning that mess up, I tried it again with a clean rag over the spark-plug hole and checked the rag (after it blew against the wall). It's pure fuel, but a lot of it. BTW: There does not appear to be any cross contamination between antifreeze and oil.

So...is this a fuel injector problem...fuel rail...throttle-body?
this is a best of a worst case scenario. drain the oil to see how much got past the rings. you might have got away very lucky. and that's O.K.
