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.

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.
