Hey Buzz,
I see your in Lowell, I'm in St.Johns,so not too far from ya.

The oil goes up into the head thru the passage I marked with the screwdriver in the block and the pen in the head. As you know the sending unit is right there on the side of the head. The oil goes from there, the length of the head, and up to each of the four cam bearings. From the cam bearings it goes thru the length of the cam and out a port on each of the cam lobes to lube the cam followers.

As an idea to make sure its the head gasket, most likely is, you can drive the oil pump with a drill and look for were the oil is coming out. Just take off the timing belt cover, remove the timing belt and drive the distributor jackshaft. On mine it took a 17mm socket.
Make sure you time the dist and cam correctly when you put it back together.

I always liked the 2.3, nearly bullet proof
