Smoking from 02 housing???

[g00s3y]

Ok guys I have an small oil leak, now i don't know if that could be the cause of the problem, but on my way to my gf house i was getting a little bit of smoke from under the hood and a little stench. I get to my gf house and it becomes a little more than what is was driving there. I pop the hood and it seems to be coming from where either the exhaust manifold connects to the o2 housing, or where the p2 housing connects to the downpipe. Can't tell, its late and its freezing out, no garage, anybody have any idea as to if its the slight oil leak hitting the o2 housing or if its something else???

Was the exhaust smoking or just underhood?

Just under the hood. I have a 3" apexi n1 catback exhaust and a 2.5" apexi downpipe if that makes any difference.

If it's not coming out of your tail pipe, it's probably just external oil leaks dripping on the O2 housing. Martin is coming over for a lesson on clutch bleeding on Sunday, bring your car over.

Could be the coolant line down to the oil cooler leaking a bit as well, it is in that general location. Was the stench.. sweet? or did it smell like burned oil?
