Oil in intake manifold?

I noticed the other day when working on my problem with my CUCV M1008,
that there was a small
amount of fluid on the inside of the intake manifold.

The questions are:

1- How much is too much?

2- Is this normal to have a little?

3- If the truck is being used to go very short distances (aprox. 30
blocks) twice a day
     5 days a week, would this explain it?

4- Should I take the time to manually clean out the manifold on a
regular bassis and if so
     how frequently?

5- Do I need to start panicking now?

How's that for MV content!
Thanks,
Bruce
