I noticed that after doing some spirited driving, I park the car in the garage, open the hood and there is a slight faint smoke coming from the engine. It seems to be coming from all directions. I opened the oil lid to see if it was coming from inside the crank and was not able to tell. It looks just like when someone serves you a hot fresh plate of food and the steam/fumes/smoke comes off of it and eventualy stops smoking. The only thing I have done recently was oil pan gasket and oil/ & filter change, followed honda manual to the "T". I suspect that maybe oil from somewhere is leaking into the exhaust and burning it off. It has a VERY slight smell of oil but not sure. I am also wondering if oil is dripping onto exhaust pipe right below the oil pan. Is it possible for oil to be leaking into the exhaust system?? Please advise.

Other things I have done within the past 2 weeks.
Oil and filter change
replaced Oil Pan gasket
replaced valve cover gasket
replace spark plug tube seals
replace valve cover bolt seals
cleaned Iacv
replace pcv
replaced o2 sensor
replaced dizzy
bleed brakes
replace axles
replace tie rod
I know that some of these things have nothing to do with it, but i threw them in just in case they might have indirectly caused the ill effects.

 

Well, when I pull the oil filter off my d16y7 I usually get oil all over the exhaust pipe. Maybe you just have some oil burning up that was sitting on the exhaust? If you have a pair of ramps I would suggest maybe driving up on them after your spirited driving and take a look underneath to see if you can pinpoint the location of the smoke.

 

***RESOLVED ISSUE***

I took it out for a spin again today and this time no smoke just a sent of oil which should be fairly normal. Must have just been spilt oil from the oil filter change. thanks folks
