Sam at this point I would pull the intake and stop using those plastic locators.

You may be sucking on oil from the intake manifold bolts that are not blind, or the open face areas of the heads intake flange.
This time around put a thin bead of form-a-gasket on both sides of the gasket around the ports .

Allow this to skin up some and then bolt the intake back on.

I have never had good luck sealing up a intake when I was using those locators.
