Icon3 Smoking 1992 Accord EX

Hello all. I have a 1992 Honda Accord EX(AT) and I cant figure out why its smoking. Before this started, I've had an OEM Exhaust from the back of the Cat to the muffler replaced. When it started, I've had the Cat replaced, new water pump, new spark plugs and spark wires. If your looking at the engine, the first plug on the right, usually has a really small dab of oil on it and the second one from the right, has a good amount on it. the other two are clean. I've replaced the gasket seals twice. When it starts to smoke, it kinda looks like its coming from the headers is this possible? Or is it possibly something else in that area of the headers or something else entirely? Please help. I bought a year ago on the 28th of April for $800 and Im now 1.6k in it I just wish it would run cleanly again. Thanks for the help guys!

Are you getting smoke out of the exhaust or just off the header? If just the header is smoking and you have oil in the spark plug holes, you may just need to replace the valve cover gasket and the spark plug gaskets that go in the valve cover (usually comes as a set). If its coming out the exhaust then you may have a bit more trouble and will need to figure out what color the smoke is and go from there etc....Good luck!
