Leaking Intake manifold

My car is a well maintained '96 with 110,000 happy miles. I'm told that the few drops of oil I'm dripping on my garage floor is from the intake manifold gasket (collecting on the china wall). If this is so would it also cause the idle to occasionally stumble (almost like it was going to stall).
Any help would be appreciated. Happy Holidays.

That oil leak should not cause the stumble.

Try cleaning the TB & blades with TB cleaner and readjusting the IAC, method on my site.

Also check the hoses for any vac leaks.
