So you are leaking oil externally ( based on your first post ), which either means you have a leak at the head gasket and / or at the timing chain cover seal.
You also have an internal leak, as described above, which means that you either need valve guides and / or valve seals.
Sounds like you need a head gasket and valve guides / seals.
It still shouldn't cost most than a $1,000, though....
