If your intake is leaking oil, and it all of the sudden is running funny. Well, to me thats sounds like you blew out one of the two end seals either front or back of your intake. You do have a SBC right? If so, that's what it sounds like to me. if its leaking oil, then theres also going to be a vacum leak also and that will definately make it run funny.

ok i dont have the sensor i have oil presure gauge temp and volt. i have oil pooling on the bolt holes were the intake gets set. i think it is from the rear i dont know i have no money and a full gasket set is 79.99 at avanced i cant get a good look with it in the engine compartment and my cherry picker is at a house that wont give it back to me -
does it seem to be idleing alright? u can sometimes find vacumm leaks w/ a can of carb cleaner, while idleing spray some carb cleaner on intake where it meets the heads (where the intake gasket would be) if u notice a change in idle youve found ur vacumm leak, the most ur gunna need is a $25 intake gasket set and some bolt thread sealant for the intake bolts
but it all depends where the oil is coming from to be able to fix it just degrease the engine really well and run it and watch to see where exactly the oil leaks is, it is possible for the oil to wick up the intake bolts if intake gasket is inproperly installed ,it hard to say exactly whats going on with out seeing for myself
