Did you do a compression test yet? Worn valve stem or valve stem seal will allow fuel to get up into the cam box and thus into the oil. The valve may not be seating properly, seat may be burned/damaged, stem may be carbonised or gummed up, causing it to stick. I think a compression check would be a quick and easy way to check symptoms.
