Default 351w smoke from left valve cover

I was driving my 'stang around the other day after installing a taurus fan with a flexalite VSC and 130A alt. to test it out, and I noticed after about 20 miles of medium driving around town that some smoke was coming out of the filter of the left valve cover... I can swear the stock temp. gauge never went above 190.

Is my engine running really hot and my stock water temp gauge is broken, or wtf?

Thanks,
Chris
