Its getting a little wet on top of the intake near where the edge of the valve covers are so I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is oil or coolant. Its drying up from the heat so its difficult to tell.

If it's wet, stick your finger in it and see if it's coolant or oil. It sounds like intake manifold gasket though. Going back to green stuff from Dexcool can be bad mojo, too.
