So my first post, ive gathered really good info from you guys and built up the courage to do my own work during these past few months, got tired of paying people too much money for things i could do myself.
So my 02 v6 has several problems that im currently debating whether or not i should fix since i dont want to keep but its hard to sell if i dont. The car runs "good" in a way that it drives and it is my dd but the imrc has been out for a long time now since ive searched multiple times but cant seem to find a thread about new edge imrc's(P1518?). regardless today i was stepping on the gas to listen to the engine and i noticed white smoke coming from the hood. I do have a small oil leak underneath the car but its single drops nothing mayor. it smelled like clutch burning cant really describe but my car is auto sooo i dont know what to do. Any suggestions on what it might be?
I have many more things to say but ill tackle one at a time. Help is really greatly appreciated!

 

usually white smoke is coolant...in my exp.
hard to say unless you pin point the source of the smoke.

 

The smoke was coming from the Y-pipe and the back part of the engine, closer to the firewall kinda coming around the intake..
