Oil deposits in the Intake manifold.

I removed the Intake Manifold Cover and found some oil deposits in there, is this normal?

Can't say this is normal, oil in intake manifold is not a good thing, you should clean it out - check your gaskets, hoses and PCV. My old Honda Accord had this problem the oil was coming from the excessive blowby exiting through my PCV which forced a lot of the oil in the cylinder head to fly through the tube (shit!).

Yeah, that kind of had me worried for a bit, but after reading up on it in the CL section, I found out that it was normal.

Go figure.

I ran into the same thing when I opened mine up. I was definitely worried, but after some research (and help from board members) it seems to be normal.
