Default Rocker Cover Oil Leak?

Suddenly started smelling fumes inside the car and slight smoke coming out of the bonnet after about 5 mins of driving.

Upon investigation, I think it might be an oil leak along the back of the rocker cover, so possibly needs a gasket replacement? If so, this probably isn't something I'd be comfortable doing myself, but my garage can't take a look for 2 weeks.

Curious if my diagnosis is correct, and wondering if it's still safe to use the car in the meantime (only short trips) until the garage can take a look? Advise welcome.
