You need to carefully re-visit your work on the cam cover, as this all started after you did the work. So double check all your work.

Well that's lasted long 

Not long since you "scrapped" the 2.5 V6, think if you want to keep your new motor going for decent amount of time, avoid doing any DIY work on it, as this all started since then

I've been following the posts on this topic and if there were more constructive comments and less insults he might have achieved something more possitive,but since most of you are more concerned in senseless "banter" I wonder if you ever get anything done successfully

Exactly what I thought, no money to fix it. But suddenly got a new car from a dealer     

So instead of listening to advice here, posting lots of information about the fault, getting honest advice on the best way to repair it. You've gone into debt for a replacement car?

Lots of advice offered, however I think I would get further by doing this....

The throttle body full of oil? What part exactly 

There is the thin breather pipe from the cam cover, this should be clear. The throttle body itself can get covered in crude but not liquid oil.

Plugs? Using Water?

Large amounts of white smoke still points to using water, if the smoke has a grey tint to it, more likely oil.

Either way, if you are seeing "plumes" of smoke, its burning a fluid one way or another 

Smoke out the exhaust means its burning a fluid of some kind, in cold weather due to the size of the exhaust system on the Omega, it can "smoke" fair bit in the cold mornings, but this is nothing more than moisture from the system burning off as it heats up.

In this hot weather we have currently, plus you say its on the return journey means the exhaust is up to temp, so its burning something.

Grey-ish/White tint to smoke = Water/coolant
Blue-ish/dark tint to the smoke = Oil

Look very closely and monitor the coolant & oil levels.

Inspect plug wells & remove them checking for oil

Ralf accepts the banter for what it is, "banter". As for insults, you`re talking crap
