Honestly check your breather hose from your valve cover to your intake pipe. Thats where a majority of my oil gets sucked in through. **** that thing. lol

You are going to have that problem forever. I have never considered it much of a problem but maybe others have had better experience.

I don't think the leak is quite that bad. Just like 1-2 drops here and there

It's oil sucked in from the valve cover and it's not that much. It doesn't affect the octane or the air-fuel ratio. You are talking about a couple of drops of oil that barely register in the intake. Under full throttle, a very small amount might get sucked into the intake but it makes absolutely no difference. On top of that, it has absolutely no chance of blowing the engine with the small amount involved.
