It's one of two things. Either the old SBC problem of worn valve guides or what it turned out to be on my 86 IROC. A couple of months back I pulled my plenum and runners to port/gasket match them. Anyway I read that sometimes the intake bolts can loosen enough to cause oil to seep into the intake ports on the heads. I tightened up the bolts (only the middle ones on each side were loose) that cured my problem.
