Massive oil leak
Ok so my passenger inner fender and air filter tube are covered in oil and it only does it when I really romp on it. Like I'm not talking a minor leak I'm talking a major leak like pour out 2-3 quarts in less than a quarter mile it won't **** oil revving it up in park or holding the brakes putting a load on the motor the only time it does it is when you beat it like a redheaded step child. I've replaced the valve cover gasket and used a lot of rtv didn't slow or change the oil spraying out I also pulled the dipstick and it was a super fine oil spatter. Please guys I need help sorry for bad punctuation haha I'm on my phone and I'm trying to help my buddy's mom out so any ideas please help
So it's on the fender in the engine bay, right? You made sure you cleaned the mating surfaces of the valve cover/head, right? You might also look at the PCV valve hose.
It might be dumping oil if it has a hole in it.

I cleaned it the best I could with some steel wool and nail polish remover. I thought possibly the pcv but it's basically dry would it be noticable and would it pump out that much oil that fast?
If it's pretty much dry then it's not that. I am trying to think what would cause that much of an oil dump. It's basically behaving as if there is no gasket there. Did you clean the head and cover after it did it the first time? Gotta try and see where it's coming from so everything needs to be as clean as it can.

Was the engine covered with oil though? That's what I'm getting at.
You said you used steel wool, the surfaces are supposed to be clean but you're not supposed to gouge them or use an abrasive object on them, otherwise they'll leak.

Weird you mention that I was just thinking that I picked one up on my way home because I'm literally out of ideas I didn't mean like steal wool but the kitchen dish scrub pads it didn't gouge it at all I just got the metal clean it wasn't scratched up or anything and I used enough rtv to seal 2 valve covers haha
