Smoking from engine bay?!?!
 

Last night when I pulled into my garage i noticed smoke coming from under my hood. I shut off the car, and pop the hood, and there is smoke coming from the back left side of my motor. It is coming from under and around my intake manifold over the alternator. I am having trouble finding where it is exactly coming from though. The smoke is white, and has a small hint of burnt rubber, but it is for sure not burning rubber. The smoke only shows up when i drive the car. If I let it idle it will barely smoke if at all.

Any ideas?

head gasket maybe?

Spilled oil/coolant? Hoses/lines touching something hot and burning (that would explain burnt rubber smell). Check your serpentine belt, timing belt for damage. Next, I'd say compression test to see if headgasket busted.

Drop the undertray and get under there with some GOOD light. That'll at least help you figure out more specifically where it's coming from. Go slow, and post some pics! Good luck.

Any spills when adding oil and that is where it goes.

my guess probably poped ur dipstick @ wot.

All the lines are out of the way. Belts are good.

Will take some pics in the morning.

I was thinking this to, but thats not it.

Noticed there is oil coming from the flex part of my downpipe.. will post pics later today.

How about oil from t/c or trans on the downpipe.

^^We pulled the trans about 2 months ago, and had a little oil left from that. From what i can see it does not look like there are any trans leaks or the t case leaks.
What would be causing the smell of burnt rubber? there are no rubbing issues anywhere..

Smell it, touch it what does it smell like. If your blowing oil into you DP could be a turbo issue. Looks like a good bit of fluid though

It looks, and smells like oil.. There is for sure is a lot of oil.. Enough to leave a spot in my driveway.
