Need help I can’t figure this out

I have a 2008 Chevy HHRSS 2.0 turbo I have oil and fuel mixed together. I’ve done the research trying to figure out what to do and where to start. I found some stuff about doing the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors both of those have been done. I’ve also only have 200 miles on oil and it is extremely wet with fuel and way more than 5 quarts when I drained it what else could be causing this problem? I have a check engine light on for a P02188 code which is too rich in bank one I replaced the O2 sensor in bank one I’m confused and don’t know where to start.
The car runs fine and does not smoke out of the exhaust has a little bit of a rough idle when sitting and not moving, but when you pick up the motor and go is perfectly fine if you really know your stuff and these cars and can actually help me try and figure this problem out please

Welcome to the site, please confirm the code , there’s to many numbers, I’m guessing that the 0 isn’t correct!
P2188
https://www.obd-codes.com/p2188

Check and clean the MAF sensor, use CRC sensor safe, not brake parts or carb cleaner!
Check for damage to the wire harness
Check and clean the air filter, if it’s washable like a K&N don’t oil spray it to much, just a lite mist on the dirty side away from the throttle body.

Yes, I’m sorry it is P2188 but also, how does this help with fuel being in my oil?

Compression and leak down.
You misread the code definition, fuel trim system rich at idle.
That means too much unmetered air is getting into the A/F. Look for vacuum leaks.

compression and leak down test are both good
leak down all cylinders are under 10% and within 4% of each other

I added some inf to my previous post.
My guess is the pd means pending, look at the instructions that came with your reader.
I don't know enough about turbo to know where to look for vac leaks. On a naturally aspirated it would be between the MAF and the #1 O2 sensor.
Doubtful this is a sensor problem.

I feel like it’s a fuel injector leak or something idk

Quit driving the car or even running the engine. If there is that much fuel in the oil then the oil has thinned out and lost its lubrication qualities.
If you keep driving it, you’re risking engine or turbo failure.

I posted that link and in it shows further steps, like fuel injectors. I like to start off with the simple things. Thanks for including that you already did a leak down test.
