you can't have an oil leak from the exhaust manifold

when i turn on the engine after 2-3min im currenlty getting white smoke coming up ! i dont know why this is happening and yet the exhaust manifold is frequently getting covered in oil ! even under the exhaust mainfold you can see oil ! I went under the car and some clouds of white smoke leaking from the pipe that goes in the manifold ( the 8 in one type ) im currently dont know what to do with the current situation as if i cant find out where the oil is coming from ! If some can guide me accordingly I would be more than thankful ! But if the valve stem seals are out would it leak oil ?

No smoke is coming out the the exhaust manifolod anymore but to my attempt when I open the radiator cap and its around 70 degrees celcius water start pouring out a when i give the throttle to the engine a small bubble appear then goes away ! Must be a bad head gasket i think ? Any help ?
