1st off, this is my first muscle car, and im trying my best but its actually a 72 nova. i had a 327 droped in with a 350 turbo tranny. i had comp cam roller rockers put in new crankshaft put in. Long story short 2 years i drove it probably 2 times a week and every once and a while i would play around in a empty lot doing a doughnut or 2 (seriously, not that much) never had any major problems never over heated never blew anything it ran strong. up untill about a month ago i relized an oil leak back by the distrbutor where the intake meets the block. I bought the intake gasket kit and attemped to replace the old one.i did what I thought was a good job but NO... Now when i drive i have some oil coming ou both valve covers, also my oil looks like chocolate milk under the valve covers but not at the dipstick. Did I Do SOMETHING WRONG. I was just trying my best to do what i thought was best for my car, did i mess up bad. iS it fixable, Is it going to cost me a pretty penny. is my car done for . And what did i do wrong and what could i of done instead. Please PLease Please help .

You did not seal the intake manifold properly-it has coolant runners to cool the manifold down. Redo the intake manifold and take your time
