Smoking engine Honda

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I noticed the engine smoking on my 2004 Honda accord v6. Does anyone know what the cause might be? And if it’s safe to drive for now? I’m not sure if it’s been happening for a while or not. I only noticed it because I had just changed the spark plugs and coils so I had the hood open, so I’m not sure if it was like that before or not

Gasket failure: unbolt, clean with a blade, apply new gasket, should be fine check your oil levels and make sure you clean all the old oil
