what color smoke is it, if it is white is your radiator, blue is oil..... if it is coming from between the fuel rail and the headers it sounds like the headgasket is bad and your burning antifreeze, check your levels, see which is low, that could help diagnose it

Have you been under the car to see if anything is dripping on the a-pipe?
