Thin White Smoke

[El Versace]

I replaced my valve cover and gasket and I thought that fixed it, but the car is still giving off a thin white smoke when I stop at red lights and what not. What can be the problem here? The picture is the old valve cover.

Which engine is this?

And it could be a lot of things,

Did you change the valve cover because your pcv wasn't working?

Or was it cracked or leaking?

Did you check your ccv/cvv hose when you did this?

It's a line going from valve cover to intake manifold.

I'm guessing there might be oil in there.

Any other information would help like mileage, engine type etc

It's the n55 for a 2011 135i, I replaced the gasket and valve cover and now it's gone, I have reaolved the issure, which was left over oil on the exhaust
