Default 93 Accord EX giving problems !!

Okay just purchased a 93 accord roughly 180k miles

On the drive back to my house Bout 50 miles (all highway) the car did just fine it only started to smoke oil as I was getting off the highway
I noticed a small coolant leak where the weep spot for the radiator drain valve a constant drip drip anyways this morning heading to work 30 miles 5 miles in it's overheating towards the red I pull over and pull off the cap and it blows water everywhere I fill it back up and soak the radiator in water and then proceed the drive 25 miles no issues whatsoever however when I pulled into work it was smoking pretty bad but it appears to be all oil? My hood was soaked in oil very fresh and lots of white smoke where is it leaking from my valve cover and my exuast manifold is soaked as well possible leaking valve gasket?

I need to at least be able to limp this car to and from work about 30 miles each way so I can go over it this weekend

The tabs are from 2017 so I'm assuming it was mostly sitting and my drive back home was it's First drive in a long time and it was dark and cold so it didn't have the issues
How to fix leak where drain valve is it appears my valve plastic switch is broken and the price inside is not covering the weep hole so it drips drips but I think if I'm actually moving it's good it's the stop and go that kills me
My major concern is why am I pissing so much oil and where does it come from it soaks the top of my hood and a little on my exaust manifold could all that smoke from the oil be making the car think it's overheating?

This weekend new radiator and oil changePotentially a valve gasket

I have a 92 Accord coupe 377k
96 civic
99 AccordAnd I have never seen so much oil leaking like this
any ideas?

Also my ABS light stays on?
Will update any misc issues I find

That radiator drain contains a very inexpensive o-ring. Drain the radiator and unscrew the plastic valve. It'll come out.

And the oil.... Valve cover is a prime suspect. Best way to find an oil leak is to clean up all the existing oil mess and the. Drive it.

Until you get that radiator leak fixed, check your coolant every time before you take a Trip. Overheating engine is very serious and will destroy the engine if you don't get it rectified.
