Default 2000 Stratus 4-2.4L Engine Compartment Smoke

Engine compartment smokes when warmed up; it's been smoking for months; fluid levels are ok. The smoke is not excessive, it's noticeable as it comes from under the hood when stopped at for example a traffic light. The smoke is coming from the far side of the engine near the passenger compartment firewall. I need some ideas here. Thanks.

Did you check the valve cover on the exhaust side?
