thanks craby i know its a lot of stuff i am asking in this thread but i dropped the tranny only to find out all this stuff that is leaking/wrong with my car that i never knew about so bare with me. i still have to find this leak that is in the back of the engine passenger side. all new valve gaskets that i rechecked 3 times. Upon further inspection, i did find out that my rear main seal was leaking which i just replaced so that might of been the leak. my intake manifold dosent seem to be leaking the rtv is still intact.

lol, well if theres another spot back there that oil can come from i dont know about it, if your oil pressure switch is there they have been known to fail and leak.

i found out that my exhaust manifold gasket was burning and that was all the smoke. i bought brand new headers they are racing stainless steel headers. the headers have a 4inch diameter and i want to connect it to my existing 3inch piping but i cant seem to find any 4inch to 3 inch piping. could i weld the 4inch piping on to a 3inch? this is the header i bought http://www.protuninglab.com/hds-cc93...id=87012368578
