Hello,  Its an automatic and I have replaced both valve cover
gaskets,the upper oil pan gasket,oil sending unit,lower oil pan gasket
and still getting an oil leak when the car is running.  After a trip on
the highway at a higher speed I come off an exit and there is smoke
everywhere.  When I look on the intake manifold in the little gaps on
top it is full of oil in there yet no oil underneath the hood.  The
injector area on the front (towards radiator) is full of oil and it
seems like the oil comes from the injectors area??   Any ideas??  Thanks

most likely the rear timing cover o-ring have failed and are leaking.

Not a job for the DIY'r or weekend warrior, unless you can afford to have
the car down for a couple of weeks
