92 toyota corolla manual transmission. Was about to take a road trip so went to check oil. As soon as I lifted hood noticed that oil was sprayed all over left side of engine and even got on valve covers. started it up just to see if we could see anything obvious and it immediately started smoking. Help

I would shampoo the engine off, check oil level, start car and look for the oil leak it should be pretty obvious if it`s leaking that bad.

Also check your power steering fluid level. Could be a leaking power steering fluid hose. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
