video if my car^
You can see the poorly made jerry rigged gasket as well, but i cant tell whats causing the smoke. The temp gauge also reads and stays below the middle line. Not sure whats wrong. Thanks.
Edit: (yes i see that the heat shield is off. I took it off to look.

 

Smoke doesn't mean you have an exhaust leak. I do see some oil leaks, wonder what else is leaking. That leak could be dripping onto a hot header and causing the smoke. GL.

 

Smoking a bit? Could be residual. When was the last time the car ran. Before you changed anything?

 

This. oil is definitely coming down from above onto the header, causing the smoke. Clean up the motor and pin point your leaks!

 

The outside of the oil pan is wetter than the seat of a middle-aged woman at the 50 shades of grey movie premier.

You have a leak somewhere that's dripping directly onto the header.

Check the following:

• Distributor O-Ring
• Valve Cover
• Cam Shaft Seals
• Oil Pan Gasket
• Rear Main Seal
• Main Seal

You are burning oil on the header! looks like its the oil pan gasket..
