It's one of my guys cars, looks like it's spittin oil out of drivers side coil pack? Loud exhaust type noise, no water in oil, has 150K on it, well maintained. Ive not worked on a V6 like this one, is there a gasket or seal under coil pack? Too high up to be a headgasket. Any hints would be great, Thanks

have you done a compression check on the motor yet? May be a waste of time.

Oil leakage from gasket or sender....oil spraying isn't Xhaust or compression

turned out to be a damaged coil pack over cylinder, and a torn o ring, buddy had mobile mechanic replace o rings, and plugs - and from what I understand, the old spark plug in there maybe stripped - Im gettin all this from a guy who knows nada about cars or any other tech thing, although he's a good worker for me :)
