Smoke getting into cab

I noticed the other day smoke blowing through the AC vent into the cab. I opened up the hood and could see a light stream of smoke but can not figure out where it is coming from or what is causing it. I tried the best I could to capture it in a video. Thank you for your help.

You must have an oil, ps fluid or maybe even a coolant leak in that area. Are you losing oil, ps fluid or coolant? Is there oil or the others collecting on the bottom of the engine? Is there evidence of burned oil on the manifold? The usual suspects are any hose, valve cover gaskets, and pump shaft seals. All of those leave a trail from the leak to where it is hitting the manifold and "burning".

Keep looking......

looks to me like either oil from a valve cover gasket leaking, power steering leaking onto the exhaust or block, or you may have blowback from the breather tube leaking.
