Found the strange sound today. See attached photo.

Smoke definitely coming from the passenger side. So I narrowed it to 1/2 the motor getting closer. You guys should be able to narrow it down from there? Just kidding.

Kind of found smoke as well... Looks like oil is dripping down on to hot exhaust. so from below I can't tell where it is coming from. Thoughts?

Update again. So I emptied my oil out and somehow filled two 5QT Mobil One containers of used oil, all the way to the top. My math estimates like close to 11 quarts of oil. If I read the manual correct that I should have got 9.25 quarts. Am I crazy of did the place I went to accidentally over fill my car? Would this cause an issue?

Thanks
