This seemed to happen to more of the 4.2L engines ( oil head leak * )
... I will be taking the head off , new head gasket / bolts . I tried re
torque the head and that did slow down the flow of oil . While I have
the head off I'm going to replace the valve seals .

* not sure why but it seems to be the drivers side head at the rear that
leaks.
 Have you not heard this one before :-) " Hey your car is smoking "

There was also some talk a while ago about seeping at the head gasket,
and a retorque on the head bolts slowed it allot. IIRC
