Smoke is from oil getting on the exhaust manifold. Never a good idea putting additives into the engine as most causes problems later.To cure your problem replace the gaskets.

You can just replace one side. The most important thing to do is to clean out the breather system as this has probably caused the cam cover gaskets to fail in the first place
