So i drove for about 20 mins and then parked and i noticed some white smoke coming from my passenger side engine so i popped my hood and see more smoke coming straight from the engine i dont know if its coming from the engine/headers/maybe vcg leak and oil is burning on the headers when dripping has this happened to anyone before

Looks like your valve cover gasket (or valvetronic motor gasket) is leaking and what is happening is the oil is dripping onto the headers causing it to burn.

I have this issue as well and plan on changing the gasket.

Time for a new valve cover gasket and since you are in there, a new valvetronic motor gasket.

Hope the DIY goes well if that's what you are going to do, quite tricky on these engines, but there are loads of good DIY vids and threads, so take your time.
