I would jack up the truck and get under there and see exactly where its smoking from, you should see the stain on the header if its squirting out from the oil dip stick. Or if its leaking from the valve cover still, it will have oil on the header flange

its almost the whole header itself, do you think it could be some kind of electrolysis?

alright 2 days no smoke and everything dry, seems to be that its was pushing up out of the dip stick, so new washer on dip stick new pcv valve and new gasket on valve cover was the combination to get this fixed
