I would be a perfect world if anyone of us could just virtually point at your car's engine and tell you, "that's the problem." But we don't have a live camera feed, with us controling the camera and the throttle at the same time. That's what makes the Brickboard so unique. I just drank a Coke since the last period, but you would never know that unless I told you.
YOU have to find the source of the oil leak. When the engine is cool enough to touch, invest in some paper towels and plaster the block with them. They stick to oil very nicely.
The previous poster 544... had a very good solution to a high pressure problem. Your car is also old enough to have a clogged PCV and vacuum lines. I would much rather do preventative maintenance than just replace parts without knowing what the problem is.
If you still can't find out the source of the oil leak, I would suggest investing 10 minutes of an ASE's time. It should cost you about $25 at a dealer.
