Smoke coming from engine

[WBLSS]

I see smoke coming from what I think its the exhaust manifold but not 100% sure that's where it is coming from, also I turn the car off after the smoking and start it 20-30 mins later with no smoke coming out. Not sure on what to do or what it is coming from.

did you recently add oil and spill some on the exhaust manifold or are the valve cover gaskets leaking?

I haven't added any oil recently could be a gaskets, the smoke is on both sides of the engine same spot. The smoke has a slight smell of rubber.

Did you just replace the plug wires?

I only turned it over before I had changed them since I just had bought the car and it was sitting for the past 11 years. I can pop the wires off the plugs but the smoke looks like its coming from right above the plate above wires. I took a video of it I can post in a few mins.

If the car has been sitting for a long time it just could be stuff burning off the engine and that's what is sounds like since you said after you let it sit and restarted there was no more smoke
