Sure, drive it. Keep a watch on your oil level, which you should do anyway. And if you get a sudden large increase, then consider stopping driving until fixed.

To test how bad it is let your car idle in driveway fir a while and check your oil
I like the suggestion of just tightening valve covers first it's easy to do.good luck.maybe carry couple quarts with you just in case

Yeah my oil level was high a month ago but since then it's been at normal levels

Is there a video showing how to change the valve cover gasket for an s550 mustang can't find any? And how difficult would it be? I've changed my air intake taken fuel rail off. Oil change and rear gear oil. So it can't be too harf

These docs should help with valve cover R&R; note they are for a 2015 Coyote 5.0, but the basic principle and job is the same across the Coyote variants.

Instructions for L & R valve cover R&R:

Also. Can I also see smoke coming from exhaust pipe as well?

Oil could be slightly seeping into the exhaust at one of the joints perhaps?

Burning oil inside the combustion chamber gives off a blueish tint. Oil burning off after that I have no idea.

Ok it's white. Has to be it. I can't think of anything else it could be

Thin, white smoke is usually water vapor and is normal. The amount tends to increase this time year. (Depending on where you live)

When winter strikes my car is like a smoke machine at a shitty night club.

Check the valve cover bolts first. Generally, they just need to be re-torqued. If you are replacing the valve cover gaskets, apply some blue thread lock to the bolts when installing
