That looks like cam cover gaskets leaking on to the exhaust manifold - pretty catastrophically by the amount of smoke. If you pull the plastic covers off you should see where it's leaking.

My Murple does the same. I am refraining from driving it until I can fix it tbh because it strikes me as something of a fire hazard. If its your only car then cleaning the dripping oil with carb cleaner spray regularly might mitigate it until you can get it sorted.

Cam cover gaskets are 077198025A - £50 from TPS. Victor Reinz alternatives can be had for £25 or so if you shop around.
