Default Cat Problem

I dont know if this is normal but after I drive my car and get home and turn off the engine....the cat is kind of giving off some smoke near the header part...I dont know if my car is just cooling down or is there something wrong with my cat??

you might be leaking oil, have you changed your filter out recently?

Make sure your filter is on tight enough. You may just have a little bit of oil still on the downpiping or whatever its called. Each time I changed my oil, some would drip onto the piping causing it to smoke after I shut off my car.
