Well take your valve cover off and get you a new valve cover gasket from autozone or some place like that.You will also need some spark plug tube seals.If you look at the tube where the spark plugs go into you will see these little rubber rings around the top.They are what keeps the oil from getting to the spark plugs.They arent but about 5 or 6 dollars at your local parts store and take all of 3 or 4 minutes to install.The old ones will pop right off and you can just pop the new ones in place and then put that new valve cover gasket on and put the valve cover back on and you should be good to go.And I would also check and make sure the head gasket isnt leaking any.If so,the new head gasket wont be but around 15 dollars brand new at your local parts store.And I would get a local shop to install the head gasket.As for the other two gaskets I mentioned you can put those on yourself with no problems.I hope all goes well with the installs.Good luck:)

If you have a DVOM you can back probe the o2 sensor.... should be between 200-700millivolts (0.2v - 0.7v). If it is hanging high (0.7v-0.9v) or just "dead" @ 0.45v I would replace it.
Check your air filter (kinda obvious)
A fix that works well on older vehicles to fix emission is to put a 50ohm resister in (series) the Reference Voltage wire of your Map sensor. This "tricks" the computer to stay in closed loop longer and keep your emissions in check.
BTW the Yellow/Red wire is the reference voltage wire.

i dont think that would solve the problem... to solve the oil leak though you replace the valve cover gasket with the spark plug tube seals. its old so it could be a couple things.

I can't really understand your question but, most seals leaking cause this problem. It may not pass smog if it's smoking.

your head gasket might need replacing or probably need a piston treatment also check lambada sensor might need cleaning and a complete oil change might help also
