I'm not sure that's your problem if it goes through to the oil galley then it will,spew oil. It's much more likely that your lower intake is leaking. Clean it up real good start the car and watch what happens.

It probably has oil in it because something above it (intake perhaps?) is leaking oil and the oil is settling in that hole.

I just put my lower intake back on last week but can't recall seeing an empty bolt hole in the block right behind the PCV valve.

I see that who ever installed the intake used the rubber end-seals provided with most Felpro intake kits. It looks as though yours slipped during the installation by the amount of it I can see in your picture comming out between the intake and the block. This will easilly cause an oil leak behind your manifold to pool up on the top of the block.
