Looks like. If the intake gasket is leaking it can in deed suck up a lot of oil, but a leak like that will usually cause the motor to run very poorly. Pic number three looks really bad. Leaking at the top of the intake runner. Is that orange on the intake paint from another engine? Sealer?
It looks like orange paint, presumably from another engine because this one isn't orange. Though I suppose it could be sealer...

Others disagree but I prefer to use the composition gaskets on both sides of the valley pan. I even superglue them to the pan the day before install--very anal about it, I create wood plates to clamp both sides.
Do you mean these? I was thinking of using these but heard that they raise the intake up too high to get the bolts started...though I haven't tried it yet.

Yep ! Absolutely. Mock it up first to see if fitment is an issue, I've had good luck with 4 different intakes on 2 different 440's, One with milled heads too.

Would you use any sealer with the gaskets?

I use superglue to the pan so there is no chance of them "walking". I don't use anything against the intake or heads. You could use something else to secure them to the pan, but make sure is gasoline resistant.
After I glue them I then trim any excess material that protrudes beyond the intake divider.
Ok, thanks!

Check intake for straightness. W/o the heat riser blocked, it sends a ton of heat to it.
I will definitely do that. And I'm going to block the crossover too.

I had good luck with using no extra gaskets or sealer on the valley pan. I just shot both sides with several good coats of the permatex copper spray, did the rtv on the pan rails. Also had to use permatex thread sealer on the intake manifold bolts because a lot of oil was getting sucked up the threads.
Looks like oil around the bolt holes.
