If oil (not just fumes) get sucked into provent somehow, easy way to check is the hose INTO Provent. Normally, the hose would have a thin oily film, but if any oil was passing through, it would be covered in it from inside.
I have an exhaust manifold off a 50K mile x5d laying around in my garage.
Salvage yard where I got the HP turbo was too lazy to separate, so gave me both turbos and exhaust manifold together.
PM me if interested.

I did drill only 3 holes as per DIY. Good point on the amount of oil in the inlet tube, it was oily, but not like a lot had flowed through, but more then just mist, although it has 170k miles so it may have more blow-by then normal.
I will reconnect everything, monitor and then stretch the spring as you have done. Thanks for the offer to sell your extra manifold, but I just bought a used manifold on Friday. #1 port on it is warped away from the head ever so slightly as well when checked with a straight edge, but much less then mine and is something I can take out with mild plaining... I think.
