quick help needed to get to bfest!

[mkcman17]

trying to get one more e30 to bfest, but need some last minute help. car assembled, but (clean) oil is gathering on TOP of the exhaust manifold when running. also, white smoke from the back like a blown hg but the car is running water as a tester. oil/water remains clean.

blown hg? cracked head? too much oil?

don't have access to a compression tester atm.

valve cover gasket could cause the oil on the manifolds. as for the white smoke, could just be moisture that collected in the exhaust, i'm assuming the car was apart for a while.
