You need a new intake manifold gasket. Its a very common problem with the 2.8 On the back side of the motor is an oil pump drive gear that is driven by the cam. On older engines this is were the distributor would set. Like a distributor there is an O ring on the shaft its probly hard as a rock and cracked allowing oil to leak by. Good Luck

If a 1991 Acura Legend is losing transmission fluid but it is not leaking out where could it be going?

If your transmission has a vaccume shift modulator, the Engine will suck the transmission fluid out & sometimes if the modulator is real BAD U will have smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. If this is an automatic, and the car is blowing some white smoke, the diaphragm in the transmission modulator is bad. If this is the case, you will have to replace the whole modulator.
