When I turn off my engine, there is (sometimes) a little bit of smoke coming from the area circled in the picture. I have not been able to locate the source, but have noticed that when it happens, the dipstick is not seated. And I know it was seated before I ran the engine. What could cause this?

The one that I'm trying to post, but failing miserably. It's basically right behind the distributor.

Are you leaking oil around the dist or valve cover gasket? May be oil touching something hot. Picture will be helpful tho

I'd be looking for a clogged PCV system.

There's no visible leak, and I can't locate the exact source of the smoke. I really didn't want another project after I FINALLY got my carb working perfectly. What does the pcv system do?
