1990 740 engine oil contaminated with fuel 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike Mako on  Sun Oct 7 22:11 CST 2012 [RELATED]

My daughters 1990 740 wagon overheated and refused to start 2 weeks ago. She had it towed to our house and today I finally had a chance to work on it.I have noticed that the oil is contaminated with fuel.I did a compression test and all cylinders were 180 psi.I drained the coolant suspecting a blown head gasket and the coolant was clean.I changed the oil ( milkshake)and I have noticed that the new oil is starting to have fuel contamination.I would appreciate if anyone can tell me what are the possible causes of oil contaminated with fuel. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
