Take a look! This is after only an hour? And when I am driving on the freeway (and oil pressure is high) I see a constant stream of smoke coming from under the engine hood. The encouraging thing is none of it is transmission fluid. My plan is to pull the engine and fix what I can, or at least the ones I know about. I already put new valve covers on - I am thinking the oil pump, oil cooler and push rod tubes - anything else I should look into? At least I rarely have to change the oil - I have a constant flush??

Pushrod tube seals...

They tend to leak and can be replaced without pulling the heads...

They drip on the heat exchanger and can caue a lot of smoke.

Do a search... fix them right or they leak.

I don't know if this applies to the type 4 case but....

I had a similar problem with my ghia a few years ago. The type 1 case is a split case and some of the bolts had loosened and cause leaks across in many places like yours. Tightened 'em up and was good to go.
