First off for future reference when you mean the side of the bay that the BOV is on refer to it as the passenger side, as left is a relative term depending on where you're facing.

Well if there were going to be a lot of oil over near the BOV would be the most likely place. Directly next to manifolds is the Oil Metering Pump. This could have sprung a leak anywhere and with the pressure this thing sees it could be all the way to the front of the engine bay.

The PCV is also in that area. I suggest you refer to the 2nd generation FAQ for a link to the factory service manual. Download the segments covering this subject and use them to help hunt down your leak. Since you said smoke, I would assume that it came from the OMP and is falling onto the exhaust manifold and burning. Also make sure your Pulsation Dampener has been replaced (not related, but you don't want your FC to burn to the ground.)

If you need help finding anything further just ask.
