Should the intake be milled also ? The motor work was done by the previous owner. Is there something I could do with gaskets or permatex? Thanks

If it is pooling on the valley tin just put some sealer on the intake bolts. The oil is climbing the threads and is quite common as the bolts really go into open passages in the heads.
