Can you take a pic zoomed back a bit so we can get our bearings. I know it's somewhere near the fuel injectors, so I'm assuming I'm looking at the area where the upper bolts to the lower?
In that case, the pooling oil could be oil being sucked into the intake manifold for some reason. Removing the lower intake could give you a better idea if that is your source. But that's a guess as I still don't know where we are looking at here
Looks like oil accumulating below the #8 injector.
Could it be sucking oil up the pcv hose for some reason? Sucking it up into the intake and its leaking down out of a fitting maybe?
Could be just leftover gasket materalu from whoever took the upper intake off last

Take another further away pointing to it?
A good way to see gasket "blowout" like that would be running synthetic oil when normal oil was previously ran (for the duration of the vehicle).
Went to synthetic the day I bought the car. Not sure if synthetic was run beforehand

That some good advice, btw, what intake are you using, has it been recently removed? Whats you setup?
Is the baffle installed on the lower where the PCV is located?
I would check both vacuum lines from the oil fill tube and the pcv and see if you have oil dripping out of them. Hopefully, if that's the case, you can run a quality catch can to lessen the issue.
Is this engine a stock 302?
If that is the BBK SSi that intake was known to have all types of issues.
I know the holley systemax has a poor pcv design and is known for sucking oil like what you're seeing in your intake here.
That could be the issue or you may have something bigger going on here.
