troubles continue

Pulled into work today and I had smoke coming out from under my hood, took a quick look and it is coming out between the engine and the firewall. Didn't really smell like oil, but am not sure what is hot enough back there to burn fluid. My brakes have been acting up, but I think that is my booster out AGAIN!!
Oil pressure seems fine, though it did spike up to about 60 when I first started the car yesterday, but seems ok now.
Any idea's??

TIA

This could be, my 95 with 50,000 miles had a intake manifold leak on the back side. I can see it bubbling while the engine runs. I can smell burnt oil when the engine is warm, but it doesn't smoke.

Thanks guys, where exactly does the leak usually occur?

What gaskets or is there a gasket set I can get to fix this?

Look around under the EGR valve area if you see oil I bet it is the intake
