I had an oil leak that found the exhaust.. turns out it was a failed "oil pressure switch". Located on the passenger side of the car. Saw the leak on the bottom. Saw the failed piece from looking down on the motor from the top.

Mine was a bit more worrysome because of course, with an increase in revs brought an increase in the leak. Eventually lots of smoke from the oil burning off on to the muffler/cats.

Let us know what you find out!
