Oil leak im lost help!!!
I have a new Rear Main Seal, new Oil Pan Gasket, and new Oil Filter Kit with rings.Also i have replaced both elbows on the valve cover, and the back hose, so im needing help. here is what happens Im driving to the lake and im about 30 mins out, let me remind you this happens alot, all of a sudden white smoke behind me. So i pull over and oil spitting out i dont know from where but looks like passenger side.
you probably don't want to hear this, but..
you need to clean the engine thoroughly and take the time to find the leak - from a clean engine. that's the only way to be sure. the extra 30-45 mins of diagnosis is well worth the time, effort and loot otherwise used to throw parts.
have you taken a look at the oil pressure sending unit? i'm sure you had a good look at it while you were changing those oil filter adapter o rings..

White smoke on the passenger side sounds like the vent tube on the transmission is spitting out onto the exhaust. Check the color of your trans fluid, if it's dark chances are you're overheating the transmission causing it to puke out fluid

Options left at this point.
Valve cover gasket.
Distributor seal.
Head gasket blown to out side of motor.
Crack in head.
Crack in block.
Something you already replaced was done wrong/ or bad part.
Soak the motor in degreaser, then power wash it clean.
Then find the leak.
