ok i had an oil leak problem, oil wa leaking from the oil fill hole. so i permatexed my trick flow filler tube on nad now the oil does not leak from that side at all. but it leaks from the other side. i replaced the valve covers gaskets and all was good for a day then i noticed oil ion top of the valve covers. where could this oil be comin from? and smoke comes out of the dipstick as well. why is it doin that? could it be one of the vacumns? i have no clue and i'm stumped, please help me! thanks

If your PCV valve is going bad you'll have increased crankcase pressure resulting in oil leaking from anywhere it can go. Go to the local ford dealership and pick up a motorcraft PCV valve, they're like 10 bucks and it never hurts to get it replaced if you haven't recently. I wouldn't recommend getting it anywhere else. I just did mine this weekend and it stopped leaking oil (from who knows where) and improved my idle quite a bit as well. Try that as a simple fix and if it doesn't work, at least you have a new PCV valve.

Oh, and by the way, before I replaced that valve, I had smoke coming from my dipstick and my breather hose.
