Default High oil consumption

My 1.8 petrol C30 seems to have a pretty high oil consumption. I'm not sure if this is leaking outside of the engine or being burnt - when I set off after engine braking for a while there's a nice cloud of smoke left behind.

I noticed the right of the rocker cover was damp with oil (photo attached) and there was a small puddle of oil to the left of the grey block in the photo, next to the cover.

Would it be worth checking that PCV is working properly? I'm hoping it's not worn piston rings as that'd no doubt be too expensive on what was a £1.9k car!

Cheers
