did you use thread locker on the intake bolts, if not oil can seep back thru the bolt.

Mine did the same thing. Took out the bolt(s) and put some pipe dope on the threads. Either that fixed it, or I don't have any oil in it.

I have the exact same problem. It's barely any oil thought (probably a table spoon), and it slowly builds up over time.
Since my sending unit is ok it has to be one of the intake bolts. ------------------ '69 3/4 ton C20 2wd w/ 350ci/400THM and a wood bed! '69 3/4 ton Custom 20 2wd w/ ORIGINAL 350ci/4sp Manual and a wood bed (parts beast). Seattle, WA. *See pics of my trucks and project at www.webshots.com!

Intake bolts, it's a comon problem.
You can either use a rubber washer, or RTV on the intake bolts. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350.

another thought...
somtimes if you over fill the oil, even just a little... at speed oil will come out of the push in breathers and puddle on the intake... (if you have push in breathers)... ------------------ beat it to fit, paint it to match...
