hey guys i was just checking out the car and i noticed that both of the hoses going from the bypass valve to the intake tubes were covered in oil and the connection where the blower discharge is hooked up to the piping was also covered in oil (regular looking brown oil). So i started checking every hose coming from the valve covers or around the area and found a couple that have the tan colored sludge/paste in them. Also at the end i opened the oil fill port and discovered plenty more of the tan paste at the top of the tube. So so far i have three problems:

1) Oil consumption a bit too much
2) Oil on the dipstick itself looks and smells good
3) The coolant in the tank looks pretty clean and green
4) I've got some pasty oil in the fill port oh and the car smokes when i drive, especially when NOT in boost/slowing down in gear. Any thoughts? Here are some pics as well to help out. Thanks a lot

so can anyone help me out here figure out what could've led to this?

blown headgasket, cracked cylinder wall, leaking intake(dont know if the 4.6 manifold is dry or not? ) leaking timing cover/waterpump etc. bad radiator if automatic(tranny fluid leaking into coolant)

ok thanks for the things to look at. I am trying to narrow it down and im thinking it might be the intake manifold since i have some small coolant wet spots in the valley. However, i also see some oil wetspots by the front pullies so maybe the timing cover/water pump leaking?

so does anyone know how the little bit of coolant leaking from the intake manifold could leak into the oil?
