Wait till you see steam coming out from your bonnet on the driver's side. I'm willing to bet that its your rocker cover gasket...

As Katana says, Its most likely your rocker cover gasket leaking or the crank seal, leading to oil dripping onto the header pipes & burning off. Check for drips along the bottom of the cambelt cover & rocker covers.
