    Default Finding oil leak?

    Just replaced valve cover gaskets. Used FelPros. At high rpm- usually over 20mph- I am getting a bit of smoke rising from the rear of the motor.(@#3,4-and 7- I tried to locate the source with a mirror for @30 minutes. Cannot see any leaks. No oil in bilge. Oil level normal. Pics I took showed no smoke sorry. The smoke smells like oil dropping onto the exhaust. Could I be mistaking a potential oil leak for an exhaust leak from the exhaust manifold? Or maybe valve cover gaskets need to be tighter? Any advice on finding the leak? Maybe use a black light?
