Oh my,, It looks like HOPEFULLY the top gasket.. but the loss of power means the engine is loosing compression, suggesting that the engine block is cracked or the tapit pan gasket is broken.. Hopefully its just the seal.. I strongly suggest you get a pro to look at this and fix it for you..

but if you want to check the engine block to see if its broken,,,, take out the radiator cover and start the vehicle,, if you bubbles or the water pumping out,, you got a damaged engine block.. If not then is the seal.. you need to take the engine top off, to fix the seal,, its the one that seals the top to then engine itself.. This is one i found on youtube for a honda but the steps are basically the same..

SOURCE: up-front/top of engine clacking

The valve clicking sound in the 3.2 liter engine is a common occurance in most of the Isuzu Rodeo Engines. Some owners have spent money on expensive repairs to try and fix the noise, and some say that certain oils will make them quieter. Others have as many as 2 to 300,000 miles on these engines without a problem other than the clicking noise. Drive on.

SOURCE: oil leak on top of valve cover (apparently)

I think you have a bad gasket on your oil filler cap.

SOURCE: high idel

You may have a bad control valve or regulator. Did you adjust the idle properly?

1. Disconnect the connector on top
2. Adjust idle to around 650-700k rpm
3. Reconnect the electrical connection

After reconnecting, the idle should jump up around 700-750k rpm.
The idle screw is fail safe setting in case the ecu cannot set the idle. The rpm's set by the idle screw are supposed to be below the ecu/stock idle.

If this doesn't work, you may have a dirty or bad Idle Air Adjuster and/or Air Regulator. For information on cleaning that, you can refer to this page http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/157335.html

You can test the IAA by supplying power to the plug with the car off. Listen for any clicks or humming. That will signify that it still may be working but is possibly stuck. The Air Regulator is for high idle for warming up your car. It has a bi-metal spring inside that rotates a disc closing off an airway to bring idle to normal after a couple minutes. If it dies it will stay open and give you permanent high idle. If it gets clogged usually no high idle for warm up.
You can remove it and peer through the end. If you see a thin sliver of light, it's open. Connect 12 volts + & -, wait a few minutes and see if it's now closed. If not, it's likely dead. It can be opened and cleaned if that's the issue.

SOURCE: The RPM of Nissan Altima stays high when drive over 65 MPH.

No....the rpms differ from engine to engine and from manufacturer to manufacturer. RPM's are always higher at higher speeds.

SOURCE: 2001 dodge 2500 diesel oil leak in front of power

The power steering pump is piggie backed to the vacuum pump. The seal in the back of the vacuum pump has engin oil under presure behind it cousing a leak that gets worse over time. Cummins make a seal kit to fix this leak.

Check the bottom side of the water pump for wetness, as well as the lower radiator hose. The water pump if leaking, will run the coolant down the front of the motor,and can appear to be coming from the top of the oil pan. It is nearly impossible for the top of the oil pan to leak coolant.

Leaks small amount of coolant, but I don't see

Check the engine oil, see if the level is going up and what the condition is. you can take the oil cap off and inspect under it. if there is a milky fluid then the antifreeze is leaking in to your engine crank case which is bad for the engine bearing. The other thing to also check is the transmission fluid. make sure that its till bright red and not over filled to make sure it's not leaking in to your transmission through the transmission cooler which is apart of the radiator too. Good luck and keep me posted. Be glad to help.

Ok, I'll rephrase, car died at 2500 rpm, engine shut down and oil

A blown head gasket can let oil + water into the cylinders. If this was the case, it's probable that you've bent the cylinder arms (don't know the technical term) but if that's the case, the cylinder(s) will not rise to their full extent, thus lowering compression.
