Default Vent Smoke

I still have a problem with smoke coming through my bonnet vent. I tracked it down to coming off the exhaust section under the rocker cover gasket. Since then I have replaced the gasket with new half moons bolts and seals and the problem is still there. The base of the rocker cover is dry as a bone but the top of the exhaust section is a little bit oily. Where the hell could it be coming from????

Thanks

David

Power steering fluid leaking from the underside of the reservoir could be a possibility. Have a look at the bottom of the reservoir (where it meets the pump) and see if it's leaking. It can make it's way down to the exhaust quite easily.
