oil leak
I have oil all over the top of the motor and dont know whare its coming from. I can see it under the intake manifold but cant tell whats leaking. I think its also causing the car to smoke under the hood. Its driping down to the exhaust. I replaced the PCV valve and the trans hoses on the drivers side trying to eliminate the smoking. I dont have money to take it to a shop so I'm looking for ideas. It runs fine other than that

There's possibly oil in the IRIS valve seeping out of the intake somewhere.
Have you ever cleaned the intake/throttle body?

Search the site for a more detailed answer but to sum up:
1. remove plastic intake tube from throttle body 2. use carb cleaner and a brush/rag to clean inside until you see metal again
