Oil burning on the exhaust.....

Oil burning on the exhaust.....
I noticed some smoke coming from under the bonet this evening, on inspection it was coming from under my induction kit.
I stuck my head under the car and saw some oil dripping from under the exhaust. (see pic)
Am I right in thinking that this is likely to be a rocker cover gasket or power steering pump?
Any advice woudl be helpful.......
Thanks

Yeah, probably rocker gasket mate.
Just after I bought my car, mine smoked a LOT and I actually thought it was on fire to be honest. Didn't drive it until I replaced the gaskets a few days later.

Thanks guys. I can see oil around the gasket, but no smoke so far this morning. Checked oil level and it's dropped a touch since the weekend before last, but only by about 1/8th.
