After changing out valve cover gaskets on a Chevy truck Why does your truck keep smoking on the passenger side valve cover and leaking?
It's possible you have a bent valve cover. It's fairly typical for them to bend down and taper in at the bolt hole. Then it never does put the right amount of pressure on the rest of the gasket. Try a set of valve cover hold down brackets. Also check to make sure there are no other dents or perfections in the cover. Check the lip on the head also. I've seen some that looked like they were hit with a hammer and had dents in them. Another rare problem I've seen is a crack in the lip.....usually at the bolt hole. Sounds ridiculous, but I've also seen people not get the wiring out of the way when installing them and will have some wiring running through them causing a leak.

When your driver side of the engine is smoking what do it means?
It's difficult to say, without seeing where under the hood it's coming from. You could have a bad exhaust manifold gasket, leaking exhaust.

If you can provide more information on where the smoke is coming from, there may be a better answer.

If you are leaking antifreeze and the car is smoking what could be wrong?
It depends on if you see the antifreeze leaking or it is just disappearing. If it is just disappearing then a bad head gasket or cracked head may be the problem. The smoking could actually be vaporized antifreeze. If that is the case don't run it until you can get it fixed.

Are the high mileage motor oils worth the extra money?
Most people are saying that the "high mileage" oils are better for protecting gaskets and seals in your engine. However most recommend only using it if you've noticed soot or dark smoking coming out your exhaust. If the exhaust is clean and you're properly changing your oil regular oil should be fine.
