Not sure how the seals are fine if you have oil on the valves. That's the only place for the oil to come from lol. And if a guide was worn out, causing a leak, it would be leaking because the seal is messed up.

The barb is on the cylinder 4 runner, but like the 8/9 manifold, it has a "plenum" (if you will) that runs across all 4 runners so that all 4 cylinders get the air from the PCV.

You are right, not many places for oil to come from, and with it being in only one cylinder points directly to valve seals/guides. Very odd to have oil in the port and not see and issue with the seals. At the very least, when the guide is initially going, sometimes the tension spring will come off the seal, at which point it will start leaking. Eventually the guide really goes and lets the stem tear up the seal.

Head studs should be fine. I've never had an issue reusing them.

Sorry for the issues OP, hope you find the issue soon.

I'm fully aware that seals can go bad and the guide be fine.
