Default smoking problem

I have a '92, noticed the last few times I have ran it hard when I pull into the driveway the interior cabin starts getting a little smokey. And they is smoke pouring out form under the hood of the passenger side of the engine. It looks like it could be an oil leak burning off, but it doesnt smell like burning oil. Any suggestions?

Hard to tell from your description - maybe steam from a water leak

Get your nose into the cloud - does it smell like anti-freeze?

I have smelled it, doesnt smell at all like antifreeze, but it does have a blue tint like burning oil. After looking a little closer, I think I may have a leak around my valve cover. One the the spark plug wires on that side has oil all over it.

Probably it and a cheap fix to boot. Might want to clean it up real good, take it out for a ride to a parts place to pick up some new gaskets and see if that's the problem.
