Unhappy need help!!!!!!!! please

hey guys, a year ago i just bought a 1995 f-150 lightning. it has a 351w5.8L supercharged engine with a msd ignition. i luv the power my truck puts out, and its my overall baby. i basically wipe it down with baby dipers. but just recently i drove my truck down the street and asumed i blew a headgasket bc of extreme amounts of white smoke. soo i took out each spark plug and tested for water in the cylinder. and found to come there was in the 6th. so i went about fixing the prob. myself bc i didnt have the money to fix it..... "5 days later" with a few mess ups of timing and the valve cover gasket and oil leakage (bc cork gaskets suck!!!) i resolved my prob with pro-fel and my timing is perfect, now my truck is all together but when i drove i again just down the street to test my work, it still smoke lightly, is leaking oil from the" i guess u would call it" the valve cover filter or caps, and i keeps breaking the super charger belt. i expected it to smoke a little bc its supose to clean out all the **** that was in the motor. but the main question is could it be the RINGs... maybe oil mixing with gas bc its a light white/blueish color of smoke. or maybe theirs water in the oil and is going past the rings bc its to thin i dont know. i already changed the oil already twice to get a build up residue of like a mustard looking gunk from when i blew the headgasket,,.......seeking professional help or any kind of knowledge ANY REPLYS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANKYOU

keep striving lightning owners

Where is it leaking oil from, there is no valve cover filter. Is it coming out of the valve cover breather, if so you probably have some serious blow by and your rings are indeed shot. But im only assuming that you mean its leaking from the breather. Your post is not all that descriptive or clear to understand. Try to re-word it a little better so you can be further helped. And smell the exhaust, does it smell sweet?

You may also have a cracked head. See if the supercharger spins freely with the belt off, it may be seizing up. I don't know how the belt is tightened but if it's with a tensioner then it may be going bad.
