Remember I am not familar with the newer style lift pump your car has. The older 123s use a different lift pump but I suspect with the same basic mechanical operating system.

Hopefully someone with an engine of your type will post if he has dealt with this problem. I really questioned if it could have been getting in from the actual injection pump. With the engine firing on all cylinders unless I missed something . I still think not.
The older Lift Pumps also have an O-ring.
Besides leaking Fuel out (which is more common) some members have had the experience where the Oil gets sucked into and mixed with the Fuel to be Injected.
