Does it smell like oil or antifreeze? If it smell like oil, it could be your valave cover gasket leaks. Atifreeze and it could be more involved, or a split hose.

Im pretty sure it smells like oil, the smoke is coming directly behind the engine where there is about a 1in diamater hose. Where would the vavle be located so I can look at it to see he leak
