Exclamation Alot of Smoke in the AM for about 20 seconds

Why did this happen.

Currently i have a CEL MAF code and had gotten a P1115 but that hasnt come back in a week after I cleared the code.

I do have an oil leak on the rear passenger side of the engine.

Since yesterday or the day before, my throttle response has been alittle slow and my acceleration has been alittle weaker than im used to in these past 3 days...

Any ideas? or anyone experience this same issue and solved it?

Well its ok, I figured that I better get my MAF replaced before posting, So my plan is to take the box to the dealer that replaced the MAF so they can diagnose it, then ill take it home and they will order the new MAF and on thursday ill return for the installation... after the install, ill see if the throttle responce improves or not, then ill bump this thread once more with my results and ask for more help if needed.

well, it kinda stop smoking and then i think a week or 2 later i got a CEL for MAF. I took it to the shop, got it replaced. After replacement, it would only smoke on a start up on a very cold morning this past few days for like a few seconds and after that it will go away...and same with my other car, would smoke for a few seconds while warming it up....

oh yah, here's the link to the CEL...Ohio is the one that suggested that it might be my 02 sensor and he's right, shop replaced all my sensors too...
