Could it be that the valve cover gasket is not sealing and what you are seeing is where the oil has run down?

Any other signs that this is a bad head gasket like water in the oil or smoke out the tail pipe?

Sounds like it.

White smoke is water, right?
Does the exhaust smell sweet like coolant or like steam?
