intake manifold has nothing to do with oil leak correct?

hi, trying to figure out my oil leak, did the OFH gasket replacement recently and it is very clean no leaks. I did move the intake manifold in order to remove one of the OFH screws. But i know that an intake manifold is there basically to suck in air no?
it would not have anything to do with an oil leak right?

Correct. Gaskets between IM and head are just to seal up any vacuum/boost leaks. If you are seeing any oil near it, I would be suspicious of the valve cover gasket or possibly spilled oil from pouring it into the engine.
