The Other Day The Oil Pressure and Low Oil Light Came On And I Put Some Oil. I Already Knew I Was Leaking Oil From The Rear Valve Cover Seals. I Changed The Front Already. Upon Replacement Of The Rear Valve Cover Seals I Also Replaced The 3 Broke Bolts Using Easy Out. Before It Would Smoke If I Went Faster Than 45 MPH. Now Upon Replacment It Smokes A lot More From The Engine Before I Even Hit 40 MPH And The Oil Pressure And Low Oil Light Came On. I Managed To Drive It Home, Next Day It Started But Than Shut Off Not Wanting To Turn Back On. What’s The Problem ? Because I Know I Fixed The Rear Valve Properly But Smoke Still Comes From That Part Of The Car.
Driving with low oil level usually means engine death any reason you kept driving the car when both warning lights were on? Smoke could be from left over oil or you still have leaks no way for anyone on this forum to say without at least a few pictures to go by.
The thing is I filled it with oil 2 days before so there’s no way the oil should be low Smoke comes from under here And here I see oil here And oil around here (around the same spot} Also do you happen to know what this is called ? I have a few broken hoses here

I strongly suggest you get an oil pressure gauge hooked to the engine to verify you have proper oil pressure. The engine looks covered in oil it needs to be washed before you can see where the leak source is.
