Default Failed Intake gasket pics, need opinions..

Is this gasket bad enough to cause oil loss through the intake port on number 5 IYO?

I have been going through a quart every two weeks for longer than I care to admit. Thing is, never any smoke, ever. The plug on number 5 fouls after about a week or so and it passes compression checks, so my only guess was valve guide/seal, oil ring, or intake gasket.

Your opinions appreciated....nothing like working on the car at night with a road trip scheduled in 10 hours.
