Default Smoke

My dad called me last night and told me that there was smoke coming out from under the hood after he drove my car. I drove my car today so it could get warm and make the smoke and it is coming from under the pipe from the intake to the engine. Its a a5 2.8 btw. Help please.
The orange circle shows where the smoke is coming from( it may look like it is where the spark plugs are but it is straight down below the black tube from the intake to the engine... so its kind of behind the engine, its too far down for me to really tell. Thanks

What's it smell like? Have you checked your fluids to see if anything is low? Do you actually see anything leaking at could be dropping down on your exhaust? And just for giggles 5speed or Auto?!

it's most likely either the cam seal or the ECT sensor bracket leaking. check you coolant level and oil level.

that is exactly where my car smoked when my cam seal and valve gaskets were leaking on that side. does it smell like burning oil? make sure u check both valves because even though smoke was coming out of that side on my car, both valves were leaking from gasket/ cam seals.
