Unless of course you are creating so much negative pressure that you are sucking oil past the piston rings and all the way up into the manifold , not likely.

I suppose one other potential reason would be that oil is being sucked up through the pcv system and then back down into the manifold (I am not very familiar with the all of the functions of a throttle body system), but again, the intake manifold gasket seems the most likely.

I am sorry I did not make it clearer. I did have an intake gasket leak years ago, and I fixed it. I was using that observation as imperical evidence that reversion air flow is happening.
