valve cover gasket, cracked valve cover?, clean the area off and start your engine or drive it for a few blocks and try to see exactly where it's coming from.

i've discovered the same issue on my engine, but it turned out to be a crack in th hose. you might inspect you hose.

white smoke is coming out of were the air breather goes any other clues will be very helpful thx

Like mentioned earlier, check for a cracked hose because the rubber gets brittle due to the heat from the manifold or check to see if the fitting the hose connects to is loose. Is the white smoke coming out at idle or on load? That smoke is only just blow-by gases.

its comin by idle. oil coming out by load. it never smoked from there
