In the last week I've noticed white smoke coming up thru the vents (below the windshield) from the engine bay, after driving hard and/or long. Upon inspection under the hood, it's a minor smoking coming from behind the engine, just right of center in front of the firewall. I cannot pinpoint from where it eminates.... though it is definitely either middle or lower engine.

I was informed at my last oil change (synthetic) that I had a minor oil leak, but that it was nothing to worry about at this time.
It doesnt seem to smell noxious when inhaled, I even thought at first it might be steam.... but I figure highly unlikely.

Thoughts?

check the valve cover bolts sounds like you are leaking oil from the rear of the valve cover.
