Default Oil leak help

I can't seem to find where its leaking.....when I drive for about 10 min white smoke comes from the catalytic converter and where the exhaust pipe connects to the headers....when I jacked up my car the oil was dripping from the shift linkage to the catalytic converter...I changed the passenger side axle seal and it seem to stop most of the smoking and oil leaking
Could it be the shift linkage seal?
Someone help plz
Thanx in advance

have you changed your oil lately, why im asking is mabey the old seal was left behind on the filter and when you put the new one on it didnt seal all the way.

that seal would have blown out by now. if you double gasket the oil filter you will know about it right away.
Is the white smoke coming from inside the exhaust or from something dripping on it?

I haven't changed my oil yet...and it looks like its dripping behind the exhaust manifold but I looked and touched around that area and no oil seem to be comming from there....I think its the seal that connects from the tranny and shift linkage and my boot on my shiftlinkage is ripped completely off as well
