This is just a guess. IIRC, the vent on the passenger side is where excess engine compartment heat get ventilated. I assume the explosion blew the boots off the intake plenum. Perhaps the smoke was from the explosion itself which burned off some residual oil in the intake that got there from a failed or failing AOS. If so, then the smoke likely found its way out through the passenger vent.
