Default Smoke

Ok I took my car for a little spin and when I got back I noticed I dust like smoke coming outa the right head light when facing the car from the outside. I pulled up the hood and noticed it was coming from the left side of the engine. The strange part was it smelled more burning then smokey almost electric. I Dont know what could be buring thats electric on that side of the car but I do know there is a small leak at the base of the power steering rez and it might be hittin sumtin any help would be great.

maybe oil seal leak hitting headers. Try letting the car cool over night and in the moring wrap a white paper towl around your hand and rub it in the surfaces where you have seen smoke.

Nothing hot on that side of the front for the p/s to burn on. The only things electric there are headlight motor, coil, and windshield washer pump.
