which means drop the oil pan, pull the head and then the t-cover. Then you will discover how worn -out the balance chain / timing chain is and how loose the pistons are. By now it's pretty well known that oil leak is from the top of the timing cover, not the head gasket. Quick check for blow-by is put glove over oil filler -- should stay sucked in, if you can inflate by revving engine it's not great, if it blows off you need pistons.
