It might not be so bad. Had the same sorta thing happen in my old eb 4ltr.
Turns out it was blow by. Were the compression got past the piston, pressurized the bottom end and pushed oil into the intake.
A couple of quick tests you can do which will help you.
-Compression test..
-Pull the intake manifold off and check for oil in it.
-Take rocker cover off and check for broken springs and sticks valves..
-while cover is off check the valve stem gaps.
