Need help! Head gasket?

This is a problem Im having with my sisters car. This fusion has 89,000 miles on it (2006 2.3l 4cy)l and it recently had a bad valve cover leak that I was going to start to fix. Checked the oil and there was absolutely none in it. She wanted to wait until next weekend to get it fixed so I filled the engine with 4qrts to get her home across town. She's started out the driveway and there was a massive cloud of smoke out the tail pipe (blue, oil burning). She stopped and I had her leave it here. I started taking the valve cover off and plugs out and noticed the cylinders were full of oil. The plugs were soaked and there was barely any oil in the engine.

I'm guessing there is a head gasket problem where the oil is getting sucked into the intake manifold, into the cylinders and getting burned out the tail pipe.

I've seen on other places of many people with the same complaint but most were taken to the dealer and the engine was actually blown due to no oil and being driven that way (never any engine light or low oil light). All had to have new engines. This engine isn't blown, caught it before that happened I think.

Anyone know exactly what is the part that failed to cause this??? Need help! Don't want to tare into this anymore then I have to if this engine is no longer any good.

Thanks
Don
