Default Smoke from under plenum ??

Hi guys. Hopefully someone can help with this. Car is a 02 stratus rt with the 3.0. i recently did a full tune up including a new distributer. Car idles good but power is very low under acceleration and there is also a good amount of white smoke that seems to be coming from under the plenum. Any suggestions ?

Did you replace the rear valve cover gasket? That likes to fail and spew oil on a hot manifold. If you did change it, you pinched the gasket, resulting in the same thing.
