Default 351c oil leak

My 351c is leaking alot of oil from rear of the intake manifold. The thing I'm wondering is does the intake manifold have oil flow through it or is an underlying problem of something else? If you've had this problem before I'd love some advise!

You can email me at Arnold_se@yahoo.com
thanks

I already changed the sensor. That wasn't it. So it must be the intake manifold seal

clean it all up properly and then recheck when it's tidy. leave run for a while so you know exactly where it's coming out. would be a PITA to replace perfectly good intake gaskets (whichg can go horribly wrong if never done before) and all you needed was a bit of teflon tape at the oilpickup thread.

make sure where it's coming from first, which will be easy if perfectly clean
