problem

[fastshos]

I have had a cam seal,front main seal for awhile know. I was driving home and
after gunning it had I noticed a sudden loss of oil pressure/power at high rpms
At idle oil pressure was still 16. Smoke is hitting passengr side of subframe/cat. This is not rod bearing-no knock and car has had newer rod bearings. How can I pinpoint problem-should I just replace all seals?
thanks

I'm a little lost. Obviously you have an oil leak.

your loss of power may be due to the leaking cam seal that will screw up the cam sensor and cause bucking and loss of power
however, that may also not be the problem
first and foremost check to see if you have any stored codes
at warm idle the oil pressure should be at 12, i believe that 6-7 is when the oil light flickers
that smoke is most likely due to a leaky power steering pump and or lines or the rear cam seal

where is there a knock coming from?
is the harmonic balancer torqued to proper specs?
that power loss and knocking sound could be pointing towards crank cancer

pressure leak

My oil pressure is still fine at idle-16- and I do not have any knock. What I am trying to figure out is what seal is blown.

Reach back there and pull the CPS...if it's coated in oil, there's your problem. if not, it's time to start taking things apart and figuring it out.
