Could it be PCV blow by? Oil vapor gets all over the throttle body, intake manifold, and heads. My stock plugs were fouled up at 20k miles because of it. There was crusted old oil residue on the base of all 8 stock plugs. Car ran like a raped ape after I put new ones in.
I have an elite engineering catch can coming in the mail right now to help the situation.
Both my stock throttle bodies for LS1 @95k miles and LS3 @21k miles were covered in mobil 1 oil when I removed them. I'm afraid of what I'm going to find in the ls3's manifold when I remove it.

If you have an LS engine there will be oil inside the intake manifold even with with catch cans I'm yet to pull out the first intake that didn't have oil in it even more so with high performance cams.
The must effective and comprehensive fix is to look the other way lol is going to be there.
