F31 N47 2015 328D white smoke from oil leak

I have pretty heavy white smoke from oil leak on passenger side. Recently dealer changed the EGR per recall, and a new valve cover and o-rings were put on. I can see the valve cover pretty clean where I can see it.

What other places could it be leaking oil? crankshaft maybe? Is that a big job?

Take it back and get them to investigate.

That does not look like oil but more like leaking hot exhaust gases but hard to tell from photo. Go to dealer.
