Intake manifold caked in oil

I pulled the air intake on my '83 240D this evening so that I could replace the manifold gasket. I had a clicking during acceleration and had somebody tell me that it was an exhaust leak. When I pulled the manifold I found it caked in oil internally all throughout. Is that a product of age or is it a sign of a separate issue/failure such as a bad oil water separator or an EGR valve stuck open?
