Than that is when I tool off the manifold as you suggested and saw the ports 1-3 with oil.
So once I take the head off, what am I looking for to indicate the source of the problem? Is it noticeable?

If this is really happening, you have a cracked piston. There is no way you can get enough oil to go past valve guides for this to happen that rapidly.
You will need to do a compression test / leakdown test before going any farther.
