Default Smoke

I noticed today that there is smoke coming from around the oil fill cap on the valve cover on my Mustang. Does anyone else see this on their cars - is it something I shouold be worried about?

Thanks.

it's is leaking from around the oil fill cap - i checked and the cap is on tight. the smoke is white, there is not a lot, but it is continuous. I let the car idle for about 10 minutes or so and it never stopped, decreased or increased.
