1995 Q45 4.5L 70k

help One Mech. Said Valve Cover Gasket but he couldnt do it. So Mech #2 says that the motor has to come out to change them. Does it? What should i expect to pay for that?

VC gaskets don't require motor pull to replace - Fire Mech #2.

Are you anywhere ear a dealership? Drop $100 for an hour of diagnostics and come back and tell us what they say - We'll walk you through it and even get you a fat discount on the parts.

Where are you located?

Power steering fluid is an unlikely cause, it would really have to be spraying around to get on the exhaust.

What you get for doing business with an untrained non Infiniti Mechanic...........More Infiniti are destroyed by using untrained average MECHANIC than almost any other reason........other than failure to change fluids.
