Interesting Art,
I'll take a stab. If the fuel pump had a leak, it would puddle fuel on the ground, or in your crankcase, when the car wasn't running. So I would rule out the fuel pump as the source of oil.
If you want to verify this, pull a fuel bowl off your carb & check for oil in the fuel bowl.
The only other way to distribute oil nice & evenly in your intake manifold is if your crankcase ventillation system was missing a PCV valve, or if the valve were defective, OR if the intake manifold vacuum at idle were too low to close the PCV valve. Any of these situations should make your car idle very poorly, as it will be too lean.
In regards to the intake gasket, "if" you will be using the exhaust heat crossover to heat the intake manifold, then you must use the turkey tray. Us the FelPro kit, MS 96012. Install the paper gaskets between the cylinder head & the turkey tray.
