o/s rocker cover gasket is the plate on the drivers side of the engine that covers the cams. look down between the airbox and the engine and its the big metal plate on the side of the engine which has holes where the spark plugs & coil packs or HT leads go in to the head. When that gasket leaks, it drips oil on the the exhaust header just before the up pipe going to the turbo. when the pipe gets hot (Hoter if you've booted it) that oil will smoke as it burns off. mine does it atm and i got a new gasket ready to fit at the weekend
