I would pull the intake clean it, replace the intake gaskets (O rings). Replace the pcv valve and add a catch can to you pcv to catch the oil. Then I would change the spark plugs because you are burning oil if there is that much oil in the intake. Fuel filter change would be a good idea if you haven't done that in a while.

I know in my old engine before she drank more water than a fish, my rings on cylinder 7 were shot. This allowed a lot of blow-by and pressure into the crank, which then blew that into my PCV system shoving oil into the intake. This also allowed blow-by into the combustion chamber and with the very large cam and natural EGR, put some of the oil back into the intake. I found a 3 step injection cleaner at the parts store that worked VERY well and the inside of the intake looked very clean after running the system. I think it was a Berryman setup or something like that.

I'm sorry man, I didn't mean to make you think one of your rings is shot, I was just relating the story on how well that (3) part cleaner did. IF, however, you want to double check, you can do a compression/leak down test.
