Smoke Lumina Z34

I think have a very small leak of oil from the front of the engine. While the car is parked with the hood up I can see a little bit of smoke coming up from between the coils and the radiator fans. I'm wondering if its time to change my intake gaskets. If anybody else has any ideas please help.

? It's a long way from the intake gaskets to the front exhaust manifold...assuming it's an LQ1, I'd be more suspicious of valve cover gaskets.

Thanks for your input. This is true I'm pretty sure its my valve cover gasket. This is the next thing to do on my list.

Smoke...or steam?

 

I'd be suspicious of a tiny radiator leak.

I will check the rad for leaks this morning.

Found a vacuum leak for on of the lines by the battery. Also both oil cooler lines have a leak. I repaired the vacuum line. Next going to Napa this week to order both oil cooler lines.

Is it hard to change the oil cooler lines? Is there a write up on how to change them?
