time to replace the engine, but seriously...
it's porbably leaking out of your valve cover, and looks like it's coming from the intake manifold, i can not begin to explain how royally ****ed up your motor would have to be to be leaking oil from the intake

That's what I thought, but...
That's what I thought. It really does look like it is coming from the intake manifold gasket though. I suppose I can start by replacing the valve cover gasket and see what happens. I degreased the engine to see get a better idea of where the oil was coming from as there was oil on both sides of the valve cover. Since then I saw no signs of a leak for three weeks but then oil started to appear around the intake manifold gasket. Is it possible that it was saturated with oil and it decided to come out? My engine seems to run perfectly. If it was so f*cked up as to have oil leaking out of the intake manifold gasket would it give some obvious signs?
