Have you looked under the car anywhere to see if you could find where it may be coming from? Oil being all over the back of the car doesn't really tell you where it's actually coming from. Does it smoke at idle at all or on start up? How is your oil level?

the code does say p01416 i figured that was the airpump now. i looked under the hood looks a bit oily in there also.im 100% sure its from the exhaust because my tips are all oiled up. car doesnt smoke at all only when i smash on the pedal. and i mean it was smoking like crazy. but the weird part is that my oil level looks fine and didnt look like it lost any oil. i havnt been driving it rough latly. i talked to the mechanic and he said it was the valve seal. car still drives strong doesnt feel like it lost any power..just a bunch of dam smoke when i smash the pedal. so i dont know im still lost..i still dont know what to do. im not sure if i should pull the heads off to see whats wrong.
