they did the dyed fuel test and found nothing they said they ran preasures up to 22,000psi and found no leaks any suggestion on where the fuel might have come from if it was not these 2 items

dyed fuel test? Did they have the valve coer off with the engine running? did they have the Cp3 pump gear cover off with the engine running?

How much fuel because when an injector leaks it fills the crank case fast.

yes dyed fuel valve cover off and cp3 also and said saw nothing. The fuel in oil; after 3000 miles was 4.5% all other samples have been .5 of one % any other ideas
thier was one week when it seemed to take longer to start but no other signs dodge said it needs more breakin time but why were the early samples just .5 and now at 8500 miles it would go to 4.5

I agree. Although if it was just one injector body and the crack just started it might not fill that fast.

I wonder how much dye they put in the fuel? Did they put one bottle in the fuel filter housing? Did they put it in the tank? If in the tank, how much fuel was in the tank.

I have had to use upwards of 3-4 bottles to start seeing it.

I guess for now you should be VERY CLOSELY monitoring your oil level and doing changes ever 3000 miles. In the meantime, I'd be trying to get the dealer to pay for the increased oil changes and do more browbeating at DC for some support.

4% of 12 quarts is 1/2 of a quart of fuel in the crankcase. Over how many miles was this again?
