I would be willing to bet it is your intake manifold. These are prone to rotting out, and I have changed may of them because of it. Main cause is improper coolant additives. The only other thing I can think of is an oil cooler, or head gasket, but if you haven't gotten it hot, I would start looking for another intake, because that is common on these trucks with the Vortec.

Are you sure it's oil and not ATF? Does it have an oil cooler?
