I'm hoping (but with my luck probably not) that it's just grease burning... or spilled oil burning off from when I changed the oil cooler/housing gaskets.. or grease from my thrashed cv axle. Got the car put back together and it is smoking from under the heat shield behind/under the manifold. Doesn't smell like burning oil... smells kinda like a match, or like an actual fire..
