Weird thing

I took my car out today started up good,was running good.After about 10 min of driving it there was some smoke coming out of the engine bay with a smell of burnt oil it seemed. I drove off and it was fine after that. Drove for another 20 minutes and it was fine. I have taken the car out a few times before this and it has done the same thing. The car has been sitting in the raining for a few days. Any idea what it could be? No CEL lights or anything.

long shot here..I just had a similar issue but with a noticable leak, was the power steering line- the o-ring was pinched & the fluid was coming from teh top right and dripping on the exhaust things! Search my name you will see my post on it

This happened at night after i got home, when i was trying to figure out what it was, i was moving the steering wheel and it was normal- then finally the next day when i drove about 10 miles to the shop, as i was pulling into the shop is when the steering started to squeel..so i didn't notice a difference until it was totally empty!
