If you know it's leaking oil, can't you just trace it back to the source?

Yeah, can you see it coming from somewhere? If it's making a puddle, where is it underneath? Front seal maybe?

answer to your question.i have an oil leak also and can't find the source.it is like it is leaking internally.i did pull the breather off to find oil in the throttle body.can anyone help with this problem.the oil seems to be burning off through exhaust.

are you noticing any spark knock(pinging) when the engine is under load(taking off, or going up a hill)?
open the throttle blades, and shine a light down through the throttle body and look into the intake manifold, if you have oil in there, there is a good chance that your plenum gasket has blown.

I have replaced the valve cover gaskets and have looked in about every conceivable spot that I can think of and can't find the source. There is no problem with mpg or power.

Do you mean it's leaking oil so that you see a puddle, or oil accumulated on a certain part? Or do you mean that when you pull the dipstick every so often there is oil missing and you think it's leaking? Maybe the motor burns lots of oil, I don't know what you mean by "leaking oil"...
