I started my car today and noticed some smoke coming from the engine on the passenger side towards the back of the engine. I did not notice any leak on the ground under the car. It looks like there may have been some leaking coming from where the ventilation hose connector goes into the valve cover. This was loose. I pushed it back in. Could this be the source of the smoke if oil from there had leaked down? Any other possible thoughts?

The main oil leak points to check are the rocker cover gasket, the dipstick seal on the block, the intake manifold rear seal and even check the oil pressure sender I had one leak !

Are any of these serious issues?

they are nuisance leaks, unless they get bad enough they could cause problems. Valve covers are fairly easy, except the passenger, the intake gasket is time extensive, and the oil pressure sender is a common leaker, should be done with the intake gasket, since its hard to get to. Good luck
