Oil found in cooling system...

Well, I was going to install my boost guage, oil cooler and do some regular fluid checks today, now I'm worried as hell. Took the rad cap off and saw what looked to be small drops of oil...Oh sh*t! The oil is clean, no water found in it. I drained the oil and now I'm going to flush the radiator real well. Car runs great, I'm hoping that when we did the intake swap some how a small amount of oil got into the system. The only other thing could be an intake leak, so I think. Any ideas?

could be head gasket failure. But do the flush and see if the oil returns. If it doesnt then maybe you are right about spilling some in there. Hope that's all it is bro.
