You need to figure out what the miss is.....if its an injector or 2 or something more serious. You can remove the valve covers and start it and unplug one injector at a time and see if you can isolate it that way. May want to do a compression test also.

The oil in the fuel bowl is probably injector orings.

Fuel leak could be the pump or lines to it. Only way to tell is clean it up and get in there and look.

That's a start for you anyway.

Start the motor, unscrew the oil cap, flip the cap upside down and place it on the oil fill hole. Does it fly off or just vibrate and slide off? If there's enough pressure to shoot the cap off the tube, you've got a dead hole and need to pull the motor.

you can remove the IDM its on the driver side fender by the fire wall and shake it to see if it sounds like it has water in it. they dont go out too often but every once in a while. H ave you checked the under valve cover harnesses or valve cover gaskets to see if there are any burnt pins or connectors as these will cause an injector not to fire.
