Wondering if anyone could provide a possible diagnosis given this description and adivse of the severity of this or general estimate on repair.

Description:
Slight amount of white smoke seems to be coming from where the top half of the engine meets the bottom half. Near cylindircal cover directly opposite the oil cap.

This is hard to advise on since we do not really see the smoke coming out? Now being the opposite side ofhe cap you should look at maybe the exhaust gasket leaking? Maybe the cam cover is leaking oil and the exhaust is burning it up?
