That's my thought. If it isn't a bad fuel pump (as you describe) the engine
should be running mighty badly to dump that much fuel past the rings.
Once the problem is found and fixed an oil change is definitely in order.
I've heard the argument that the oil will still work okay with a lot of fuel
in it and the fuel will gradually burn off through the PCV valve but I don't
see the point in letting it go.
