Burning Smell And Smoke From Engine

[alexlunt81]

hi there

 

please can someone help me. i have a p reg galaxy 2.8 v6 and when im driving i notice a burning smell from the vents and when i open the bonnet there is smoke coming from the engine. the best way i can explain where its coming from is if you look directly at the engine and visaulise where the brake fluid resovouire is, thats the area where the smoke is coming from.

 

this is the 1st galaxy i have brought and i am not familiar with it at all so any help on this would be much appreciated.

Could be any number of things but what springs to mind is oil dripping/running onto exhaust, maybe a leaking breather hose or leaking cam cover or oil seal.
