Bad Valve Cover Gasket?  Oil Leaking onto the Exhaust Manifold - Major Smoke

This video is shot from the passenger side of my 1969 Dodge Charger 440 RT - under the wheel well.   You can see the red spark plug wire right below

 Johnny, can you post the video bigger? Are you asking how to fix it or if it is oil and from where?

Looks like quite a bit of oil (on my iPod so I may be wrong). Run your finger across the side of the head between the lip of the valve cover and the exhaust manifold. Have oil? You have a leak. Get new gaskets, clean mounting surface on head and on valve cover then install. Some say use RTV, some don't. I use it, put a small bead on both sides of the gasket before installing, put it all together without tightening the fasteners, let it set (I go 20 minutes) then tighten to spec.
