I have a 97 Mitsubishi eclipse, 130000 miles, 4cyl.

My question is, my car have this strange smoke that comes from under the hood when im driving? I see and smell the smoke mostly when going fast after getting off of a 60 mph freeway, and I especially see and smell the smoke when driving up a ramp, the smoke is the worst when driving up ramps. The smoke smells like oil, I know the difference between transmission fluid smells and oil smells.

i have an oil leak, I dont know if that has anything to do with it, if so let me know.

please let me know asap, cause I have a date, and having a smokey car is kinda imbarassing to have when driving a lady around lol

The oil leak could be coming from the valve covers, crankshaft end seals, front cover and oil pan gasket
