Maybe your lift pump is leaking.

If you're still running the stock/OEM diaphragm type lift-pump, it's time to replace it.

Generally, the only route for the IP to dump fuel into the crankcase is by way of the main pump-shaft seal. From what I can tell, the only way to pop that might be with a very high inlet feed pressure.
