3rd Generation Smoke under hood near Radiator

Hi I have 1993 camry V6 Automatic with 130k miles. Just recently I started to see smoke coming from underneath my car's hood near radiator. Radiator is 1.5 years old and is filled with coolant. Not sure where to look to start troubleshooting. Any help is appreciated.

check all your wiring, hoses the lot. they may be touching a rather hot piece of metal. also check your thermal fans. might also be better to check in on the gen 3 & 4 forum instead.

Below is link of my car's engine. The third picture has the device that is leaking oil. I am not sure what is the name of that device. That is why I have three pictures. One is from the distance/area of the engine.

Could you please tell me the name of that device and what needs to be in order to prevent oil leak from there.

Picture Link

Oil is leaking from that device and coming on the exhaust pipe which upon getting hot is producing the smoke.
Your help is really appreciated.

That's a nice easy fix. If you take it to a mechanic, it won't cost you too much for repairs. The valve cover gasket is around $10 and the repair doesn't take more than an hour or so.
