Which seal? The front or back intake manifold to block? Where does the smoke come from and what color is it?

Must be a pretty bad leak. I had that problem for months and never burned any oil on the headers or Y-pipe. Just saw a nice trail of oil down the front and back of the block and all over the drivetrain.
