2000 7.3 auto. 240,000 miles.
Idles a little rough, white smoke (fuel) at idle only, smooths out while driving, and a injector is knocking occasionally. Runs better when its knocking, rough when it isnt. Now i know that just points to a bad injector but im also getting fuel in the oil, i cant find any others with the same symptoms, the motor was sketchy in the beginning as a non-runner when i got it and i just want to be thorough before i replace it. Its a pretty signifigant amount of fuel too, maybe 2 quarts in a hours worth of run time at most. Anyone experience this before?

Could be Injector orings. But normally that will put oil in the fuel.

I'd have to say injectors..
O-rings should put oil in the fuel, injector cups would put fuel in the coolant..

not much else would cause it.
