Intake Manifold Oil Leak?

Intake Manifold Oil Leak?
So I'm sitting here at work thinking about my 72 olds with a 455. Just thought I would throw this out there for any input. I have a small oil leak coming from somewhere on my engine. Before the winter I changed the passenger side valve cover gasket thinking that would help because I knew there was some oil leaking towards the back. That helped, but after driving last weekend I noticed I still have a leak coming from somewhere.
I'm debating just changing the intake manifold gasket. I have heard they can create oil leaks as well, is this true? I'm learning everything as I go so I know these may sound like dumb questions, but I'm trying to learn on my own and enjoy working on the car anyway. Any input is appreciated.

It's leaking somewhere towards the back of the engine. I'm not sure if it's the Intake Manifold though or the valve cover gasket. I changed out the valve cover gasket last night so I'm hoping that fixed the problem. It's not a huge leak, but enough to annoy me.
