Default weird smoking

okay, so i finally got that motor mount bolt done and as im driving it home from the shop i realized that there is a light steam coming from under my hood... the cars temp is perfect, fan kicked on and everything but a light steam was coming from the exhaust manifold area... i removed the valve cover not too long ago and am wondering if i messed up the gasket or something which is allowing a slow oil leak to hit the exhaust manifold... anybody ever hear of this problem? any info would help thanks every1

could you have spilled something on the motor, id get some engine de-greaser, and give it a good cleaning and a washdown, make sure its running while u do that. take it on the e-way for 15 min, and then when u get back home, see if its still smokin.
