There is oil starting to settle on the intake and when my car is driven for a while then i stop smoke comes out of the hood and it seems like it might be the Valver Cover gasket? anyone have any info on this? thank you
Usually that's a very good sign your valve cover gasket needs attention. Oil on the intake is usually either caused by that, or from oil creeping up the intake bolts. Smoke from under the hood would probably be the oil seeping from the other side of the gasket onto the exhaust manifolds where it's promptly burned.
Try to get the rubber gaskets instead of the cork ones. They aren't as messy to use/remove, and I've never had a leak with one.

I'm sure it's a valve cover gasket. The smoke is from oil falling onto the exhaust manifolds.
I wouldnt recommend rubber. It relaxes over time and fails sealing. I would recommend ROL hi-performance blue (or equivalent), which is a composite and acts like rubber and cork at the same time.
