M54 Engine Smoke/Oil Leak

Had a huge oil leak and engine was smoking out of the sides of the hood,vents and into cabin. I went ahead and got the valve cover gasket replaced. Problem is the smoke is still present and so is the oil leak although not as bad. The previous leak blew a crap ton of oil into the passengers side of the engine bay and a huge puddle on the floor. After i got the gasket replaced it runs smoothly again.CCV was deleted right before the valve cover gasket and was checked to make sure it wasn't causing any issue. I drive not 5 miles from my house and the smoke started pouring opened the hood to see where it's coming from and couldn't pin point an exact spot. I opened the oil filler cap and noticed it was smoking as well(along with yellow sludge possible left over from bad ccv that i'll address)

the oil is pooling in one spot in the ground at what looks to be the back of the engine compartment near where the firewall would be if anyone has any input on what i should be looking for i'd appreciate it greatly.
