I wouldn't tear into anything at this point. I would simply buy/rent/borrow a bore scope, shove it down the intake manifold, and see if you see oil anywhere.....in the runners, on the backs of the valve heads, running down the guides, etc.
I've got one but I've got to get new SW for it...pretty adept at a quick carb removal at which point I can look at all the intake ports. I can actually see two valves down the super Vic, but not the top of the ports.

Try to get after it during the thanksgiving break.
