Bad smoking from engine bay

I have experienced bad smoking from engine bay , I think due to power steering reservois leaking down onto manifold when hot.Dosen't look very good . Any one ever experienced something similar .Hope it is just the leaking reservois causing it.

Are you loosing PAS fluid? if not it could be a cam cover gasket, the exhaust runs under the cam covers and its very common for the gasket to weep. Then again is very common for the PAS reservior to leak on earlier classics

My money is on the rocker cover gaskets. Usually the drivers side, well it has been on my 2 scoobs. You might as well get them both done at the same time mate.
