have you done a compression test? also do you have coolant in your oil? check all gaskets on the top end

Is the oil running down to the corner or is it leaking from the bottom of the head. It could be the distibutor o ring.

Clean the area real good. watch the distibutor where it meets the head. ( start car) if it leaks replace if not keep searching till you find it.
