Oil pooled on intake of 454 Chevy?
I have a 1987 Chevy R30 with a 454 TBI and I noticed that there is oil pooling on top of the intake on the driver's side. I didn't have a chance to do any real investigating tonight since it was too late, but I was wondering if there was a common problem with oil leaking on the intake manifold. It seemed to be puddled. I'm pretty sure it isn't the valve cover gaskets because I can feel them on the exhaust side and they feel nice and soft plus they definitely don't leak on the exhaust. Any suggestions? Possibly a PCV valve problem?

It is common even on the 350 TBI's. Its just the intake gaskets over the years seeping. Sooner or later you want to replace it. If your starting to burn a lil oil lately this is one cause of it also.
