Re: Oil Leak with smoke

i replaced the valve cover gasket and it is still leaking. It is coming from the passenger side where i can see the puddle under the car. I looked under the car and the oil is getting on the cat converter which is causing the smoke. Anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks in advance everyone
