i would have to say the valve stem seals, that is something you should have replaced when the valve springs were out. try to pull out the spark plugs and figure out which one is soaked in oil

you can pull the intake manifold and check and see how the intake ports look before you pull the valve covers.

this will at least be a quick check on the intake valve seal.

pulling the manifold will take more time then removing the driver side valve cover and replacing the stem seals
