Default 89 fox oil leak opposite injectors-help please

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out what's leaking in my 89 fox. Oil is coming out from the left side of my engine block (opposite from the injector valves) from some little metal coils. this is above the junction of the catalytic convertor and the engine manifold. Oil is leeking onto the manifold and burns off so I have to add more oil frequently. Anyone have any idea what I should be replacing? I'm kind of new to fixing this kind of thing...I'll try and attach some pics.

thanks!

-paul

Ok the first thumbnail shows most of the engine, and the second one the specific metal valves I think are leaking, the oil just pools below here and burns off.
-thanks again if anyone has any idea to help me out!!

Well, the pictures are not appearing but did you try to replace the rubber ring that hold the oil inside the engine.
