Oil Leak?
You may have an oil leak on the passenger side. Maybe your valve cover is leaking.... have you looked under the car to see?
You may need to clean up your engine to pinpoint where it is.
That's my guess.

Is your car overheating? If the head gasket is damaged it can push cylinder pressure into the coolant causing it to overheat. If the "smoke" smells sweet and makes you sick to your stomach then you've got a blown head gasket my friend. If you find out it is tranny fluid leaking onto the exhaust DON'T DRIVE YOUR CAR! ATF has a much lower flash point than oil and you could have a fire very quickly.
