    My car has been sitting for a week drove it today and it was smoking and had oil burning from the Manifolds. Any ideas as to why that would be happening?

    burning on the manifolds sounds like your valve cover gaskets are done for.

    Thats what I was thinking. Looking at the top of the motor I can see where oil might be dripping down. Might have to call my GM buddy to help with replacing them.
    Thanks for your imput
