If the oil level is rising you need to take the injectors back out or make sure they are not loose and replace the orings on the connecting tubes for the injectors

If you have a Draw Staw V, which i suggest, the fuel returned from the FASS will be returned to the fuel basket. If not, FASS includes a insert to go in your fill line that has a fittin gon the side. The FASS is connected to it, and fuel returned down the fill hose. If there is a DSV in the tank, return fuel could be splashing into the fuel causing the vapor. Regardless, the fuel cap should be replace, in my opinion.

Fuel cap should be available at most parts stores, or if you want to pay double, a Dealership.
To access the connector tube o-rings, the injector lines need to be removed, followed by the connector tubes. At this point you can R&R the o-rings, then reassemble with lube.

R&R??? and the o ring is located where the injector line meets the tube right? Not where the tube and injector meet
