Default blue smoke at idle, small ticking

As the title says, the truck has developed a blue haze at idle, only noticeable until the engine is up to temperature. Truck has 340,000 km and i can hear what sounds like a slight ticking when idling/driving. Checked the injector lines they all turned out snug (i know #4 is a common issue, its tight) and the key trick resulted in p0483 code. Could an injector be on it's way out? I changed the oil no more than 400 km ago and i swear when i pulled the dip stick today after i noticed the blue haze and the oil almost appeared runny?! it almost looks like fuel, what would cause fuel in the oil? I only noticed the blue smoke/ runny looking oil today and will not even start the damn thing until i figure this out, any input is greatly appreciated!

Stop driving it! Pull your injectors and replace! Fuel in the oil will wash your engine to death! So park it fix it yeah about 2 grand plus to fix it ask Santa for a set of injectors!
