I've also been getting the worse possible gas mileage.

its hard to tell from the pix, but are you getting blowby through your plenum bolts? if so, loosen, then re-torque all of the plenum bolts using the pattern in the FSM. also, the bolts you have on there don't look like they have much bearing surface - throw some small washers under them if you don't already.
It's hard to believe you have that much blow by even with the amount of mileage on your G. I've never seen oil sitting on top of plenum bolts, even the wrong ones. Try torquing the plenum bolts but also check your PVC valve, is it plugged up? Also check the hose a lot of oil passes thru there. Is the plenum the only place you find oil?
