Smoke from engine bay due to oil leak?

Hi all,

I have a problem with white smoke coming from an engine bay...

It happens after about 10 minutes of driving after car sat for a while. After stopping, there's thick white smoke coming from under the engine. It stops after less than a minute so it's hard to find the source.

But I discovered there seems to be a leak from this triangular plate that goes right onto the exhaust manifold?

I think this leak would explain the smoke and symptoms... is this is the "timing chain leak" issue that was discussed here already? Sorry, I don't know much about engines and I'd like to collect more info before going to the dealer for fixes.
