Passenger side of the engine smoking!

For last couple months, after I'm driving for awhile my passenger side of my engine starts smoking , right in between my long tubes close to where my oil dipstick is, I changed the Valve cover and it still does it, I checked My Intake for leaks by rubbing on the back of it for oil, There might have been just a lil bit back there can it leak from the side or anything?, Its got me stumped , could the OIl filler neck< or the Or the breather thing on the back of the valve cover Cause this? Any suggestions would help thanks.. I forgot to add that the smoke is white/gray I think, and that it doesnt come out of the exhaust, It smokes out of the engine bay. No smoke comes out of the headers

Re: Passenger side of the engine smoking!

sounds like my problem, your dipstick tube is backing out. if it is the stock one, did you rebolt it back to the block? if not, this could be your problem, make sure it isnt touching the header; that will make it shake itself loose.
