Burnt oil smell coming from back top of engine, smoke can be seen, sometimes leaks through air vents inside. Oil seems to be draining. What is the remedy?

I would take it to a gargage if there was no clublexus forum. The purpose here to to try and get some quick general help, idea for a solution.
From what I've read, the solution might be to replace the gasket and that can be a DIY.

most likely is the rear valve cover gasket, it leaks oil to the headers on the back . i had this problem makes smell very bad from the ac vents. i replace the gasket by myself and it took me 5 hours. well i never done this kind job before. my mechanic friend told me he can do this in 1 hour..

Yea sounds like v.c. gaskets more than likely.
...With half the bolts missing. Wish him good luck with the plenum brackets and the egr tubes! There's 1 hour right there if he dosent do them everyday. lol
