Default BHG?

This 93 buick that i have has white smoke coming out from the exhaust. This is a sign of BHG right?
On a side note i have smoke coming out by the rear valve cover too. Could this be a leaking valve cover?

What motor? If it'* a 3800, BHG is a very remote possibility if at all.

LIM gaskets are more likely. With 6800 members here, I have yet to see a single case of HG failure.

I have seen a HG failure here on BC, but it failed because the LIM gasket had and they ran the engine hot for a long time.

LIM meaning lower intake manifold? Its a 3800. And as far as i know it is running fine, just a little clicky noises from possibly the valves.
