Default Strange Smoking???

Alright here's another dumb issue. My gsr randomly has smoke rising from underneath my center console or my dash "not sure". I have checked my exhaust system and tightened all the bolts on my exhaust system just to make sure they're tight. Now the weird thing is that if something was litterly burning obviously I would know. My thoughts are that something is either dripping onto my headers or test pipe and burning but instead of going else where it rises up into my car. Or another problem it could be is faulty donut seal for the headers or other gasket for the test pipe. But then again I dont think an exhaust leak would be the problem. The smoking only last about 15-20 seconds. But it smells and is annoying. Anyone ever had similar issues? This happens at least once or twice a day.

it happens randomly. sometimes with heavy load and sometimes at cruising. i dont have the black stock breather box. i have an Endyn breather kit. im sure if it was leaking something it would happen consistently and not randomly. wouldnt you think so?

I have a bad sense of smell. My gf said it smells kind of sweet or some **** like that. It only happens when i go uphill in 2nd year, well from what i've seen majority of the time. And its like a 15 second puff of smoke. Can't identify where exactly its coming from. Just know that it is coming from the passenger side cuz i can see it while driving.
