The oil is probably coming from the PCV intake filter located inside the air cleaner housing. It indicates something is wrong with the PCV system or your engine has excessive blow by (rings). The PCV hose goes from the air cleaner to a "can" on the valve cover. On my 83 I replaced the can on the valve cover with an after market one that didn't hook up to the air cleaner.
