The crank case vent on top of the valve cover that goes to the intake tube will have small amounts of oil go threw it and it will end up on the air filter. This is normal especially for an older motor with higher miles.

Yes the intake suck in the oil and crank case vapors while the engine is running. A leaking dizzy Oring will not cause oil to go into the air filter LOL.
