First, I have read all oil leak and cam plug posts.
My 95 experiences leaking/weeping that really only manifests itself by a burning smell and faint smoke coming from the engine compartment after spirited drives. The car had the valve cover gaskets replaced in June and a new oil pan and gasket installed about 400 miles ago. Some of the history of my problem are very similar to posts I have read concerning cam plug seals or spool valves:
* No oil on garage floor
* Oil located on front bank above exhaust/tranny closer to driver side
* Recently switched to Mobil 1 synthetic
Problem is I have never seen a cam plug or spool valve. I was under the car for a while tonight and traced the leak (I think) to this threaded do-dad. What is it?
