It is coming from under the copper piece. and the rest is of that area, it seems to be a little wet and smoke at times kinda smell like oil buring take a look and work your magic. Thank you.

Well it is either the valve cover gasket or you blew a head gasket. But that looks normal to me for a valve cover....and they usually leak from the rear because the engine sits to the back, and if the valve cover gasket bolts are too tight, then you get a gasket that will pucker in and leak.

Get the upgraded gasket from www.germanautoparts.com

But a second opinion is probably gonna do ya good.
