well it must be a fluid of some description so have a good look round if its smokin that long after it will be oil so check the obvious
it smokes for about 30 sec .then it just goes away like it was never there. i also have no problems with the car oil pressure is fine and coolant never gets empty

Might have some oil leaking from the CPS O-ring (where it fits in the head) down to the manifold....those get dried out and crack. Where you described is about the right place.

Yep, it probably the CPS seal...but also check the front cam caps...mine were leaking, and caused smoke just like you described...

You could be burning oil somewhere else. I know my car used to smoke for a short time after driving but now it does it erratically and I know my rings are going out. But do the simple fix first and see what you get.
