Ok I guess this is Guess the Gasket time. The car is drinking about a quart of oil every day. On acceleration, it leaves a big cloud of smoke at intersections, stop signs, etc.
Also, on the passengers side of the engine, up under cylinder #1, there is a visible FLOW of oil down the engine mount and everything down under there, but I cant tell if it is the head gasket or a valve cover gasket.
Ive removed these engines before but I have to admit I havent taken one apart yet. Just wondering if this is likely a simple valve cover gasket or head gasket.
Also, should I have the head resurfaced when I replace the gasket?
Thanks for the help.
Rob
