s4 or s5?
If its an S4, it could be that your OMP controll rod is fucked up somehow, or that there are too many washers on it allowing it to regulate much more oil than necessary to the intake/housings. Thats the first thing that popped into my head.

The oil leak he's seeing on the driver's side of the bay may have nothing to do with the smoke.
Right now what he's decribing screams 'fluid on the exhaust' to me. I'm not saying that it *must* be that, but that that's the first thing I'd be checking out. The heater core has a hose passing right over the header. Adam -> how's your coolant? Is it full?
And check your tranny fluid. Pull the filler bolt on the driver's side of it and stick a finger in there. Did you get fluid on your finger? It's gonna stink, but what you're interested in is the colour/condition. Is fairly clear and like honey, or is it brown/black? Guess which one you'll prefer to find...
