i have a 1992 Eagle Talon Tsi with 100,000miles on it and just yesterday it started to puff blue smoke only when i accelerated i discovered oil leaking by the injectors could that be the problem? i also checked the PCV valve and i changed the valve cover gasket but it still didn't fix the oil leaking by the fuel injectors

It sounds like you may have worn piston rings. Perform a leak down test to determine if you have excessive blow by (piston ring wear) :(
