Been a while since i checked in on this thread, sorry for not getting back sooner.
That does not really sound like the plenum. For a sure answer, provide a pic of the inside of the intake manifold.
Good luck man.
so i got a spark knock and havent been able to fix it yet, so it could be the plenum but thats the only symptom i have ,
and when i look down into the throttle body how am i supposed to tell if its oil there or just other build up over time i cant exactly tell if its oil at the bottom or not
no loss of power that i know of, easly go up hill very little oil loss over 5000km oil change only symptom is spark knock?

However, thats what I thought, and mine is blown.
If you can, try taking a video of the exhaust, while romping on the engine. See how much smoke there is.
Consuming any oil?

I also had two broken bolts. Front drivers side and rear passenger side. The rear came out but I had to pull the head and take it to machine shop to remove the other. Not counting that it probably only took me 6-8 hours. But having to wait until monday to get the head to the machine shop was my only hold up. It is not hard just take your time and clean all gasket mating surfaces very good. No leaks at all on mine.
Also I didn't remove the fuel rails like some guys do. They make perfect handles to lift that bad-boy off with.
