Car smokes from the engine

Check your center intake Gasket inside the engine and look for carbon residue and your leak should be close hope this helps

The first thing I need to know is if its a 3.8L V6 engine or 5.0 V8?

yeah definitly check your gaskets, check how tight the oil filter and plug are. It could just be left over oil spilled during an oil change, but I doubt it.

This is a good idea. Some residual oil on the exhaust system from an oil change would cause smoke and it will pass. However a bad valve cover gasket will leak oil onto the exhaust manifold constantly and the smoke and fire hazard will never go away.

it probably isn't oil residue because on both 3.8l and 5.0l the exhaust is away from the filter and couldn't have oil dripped on them,if it is a 3.8l I would take a serious look at the headgaskets because they are a known concern.

retighten valve cover bolts.

Is it smoking when you drive it or just after you turn the car off? And can you smell any thing while driving.

I smell antifreeze n it's smokes badly the car cut off yesterday omw home u c smoke coming from I believe the intake where it says 4.6 liter
