    how does your oil look? if it looks like dirty mayo I would start looking into head gaskets...I think that would be the first place to look.

          ...smells like strong exhaust.
          ...as for fluids, my coolant levels haven't
          dropped. My oil level has- but thats because
          of a slight drain plug leak.

            strong exuast would be oil cuase coolent smells sweet when it burns.

            I don't know y you would be buring oil there? yes oil it there but it shouldn't get that hot to bun oil in that area.....

            you don't have a superchager or anyhting like that right?

            have you checked your PCV vavle

              ...I shouldnt be burning up oil in my valves, but somehow thats the build up thats collecting all over my pass. side valve cover(and nearby parts)
              ...As for the other valve cover(PCV) -I just replaced it the other day. Due to it popping off. After instaling the new one, I realized why the previous one didn't hold. The "rubber Grommet" has (inner side)a notch or a cut-out-seat that you're supposed to push the PCV-"lip"(which runs around the inserting section of the PCV)down into this "cut-out-seat". Anyways if you didn't know.....I though I'd share.
              ...Finally, "no"-I have no supercharger(I wish),...and "yes"-I am running NitrousXpress.
              ...But could you explain whats going on with the valves/smoke or oil burning/&PCV?
