ooooh shiot....did you change motor oils from regular to synthetic? that can cause a break-down of the seals(gaskets). its good to use one or the other and stick to it.

Here is what I can recommend doing. Clean the oil all up around the intake and start it and let it run to see if you see any seepage. If not go for a drive and come back and take a look at it to see if you see a leak. Also check your PVC valve to see if it is clogged up. If it is bad it will cause too much crank case pressure and oil leaks can start.
