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?

Could be the heater core. You would notice the smell of antifreeze. Does it smell like exhaust?

Might be a leaking valve cover gasket. If its smoking it must be getting on exhaust manifold. If you can clean the engine your engine you may be able to find leak quicker.

Regarding the smoke getting into the cabin:

Check to see if the shifter boot has either come loose from the tunnel, or has any cracks/holes/tears in it.

Be well,
