Got home from work last night and while I was putting the garage door up I noticed whisps of smoke (smelt like hot oil) coming from the air intake directly under the drivers side headlight. I've also had a smell of hot engine oil coming into the cabin when the heaters are on and the cooling fans are running. The oil level seems slightly high so is there an oil breather pipe front n/side that could be throwing the excess oil out and causing this smoke?
If not, any other ideas?

I had a the same thing but in a different place on my Tamora. Oil leaking from the rocker cover was dripping on the hot exhaust manifold. It was just a hex bolt needed a tighten.
