So me and my friend had a stupid idea to try and color my valve cover. So after the deed was done we drove it from Garland to Dalllas and when we got to the destination the engine was smoking and we tried to put oil in again so we could get home. Then we got home it ran out of oil again. My question is, what happened to make it go like that?

Hypothetically let's say his valve cover has never been removed, which can easily be the case. Since there wasn't a problem before hand, what it sounds like. Just wipe both surfaces clean of where the gasket sits before putting the new gasket in.
