Smoke from exhaust manifold heating tube

On my 86 dodge power ram after driving smoke was coming out from under the tube connecting the the intake from the exhaust manifold. There appeared to be a leak. Do you guys know what’s leaking and what I need to do about it. This is also my first truck so I’m not sure if I’m using the right terms

I get that I was just hoping that smoke wasn’t due to a coolant leak with a bad head gasket

Just because you put a new valve cover on it doesn't mean it's not leaking...
