Smoke from the engine bay

I would simply be replacing the rocker cover gasket and cleaning up any residual oil which may have collected on the underside of any drip paths/surfaces.
I recall when I replaced my gasket that it was still smoking like billyo which led me to falsely believe there was still a leak somewhere until it all burned off. Been leak-free happy days since.....
