Im not sure if i am in the right place for this but i have a 1982 mustang gt that recently has started to blow smoke out from an area under the valve covers, only at higher rpms i notice it ( around 2500+ ) i have replaced the valve cover seals and the covers. i do not have any sort of signs that the motor is blown
< no milking oil, no smoke in tail pipes, and no loss of power >
I know that i have crack case pressure from what im not sure < this would more then liking be causing the oil to come out the motor
I am looking for some ideas on what it could be my last guess is that it could be a intake gasket because i do have a scent of gas in my oil, i have looked at buying crate motors and they seem really over priced i would be spending more on the motor then what i bought the car for and that does not seem like the right move ANY thoughts would be much appreciated thanks for your time.

Have you checked the pcv system?
Can you do a compression test?
