Default ~~ Valve cover leak? Smoke from oil filler cap! ~~

I know I have at least some bit of blowby, being 190K miles, its aparent. Right now I cant smell it because I believe its the valve cover gasket leaking oil all over exhaust manifold, so all I can smell is burning oil anyway...

The oil looks to be leaking from what looks like a bolt (next to the filler neck). Im thinking its one that holds the cover down. Is it fixable, why would it come out of here? Im thinking the rest is from the gasket. Likely?

What do you guys think of the smoke from the oil filler neck?

Ive also ordered a catch can. PCV > catch can > TB Right?
Will this help?
