Default Smokey engine bay!!!

Got an oil change the other day, not by Subaru dealer. Over filler it slightly, but not to much what damage will this cause?
I have noticed that I have smoke coming out of the engine bay and its smells quite bad, didnt spill any, any ideas?

If your car is a few years old then the smoke could more than likely be coming from a leaking rocker cover. Is it on the drivers side? Mine was. You'll need a new cover gasket, spark plug gaskets (2) and little rubber thingys (6) that seal the holding on screws. Oh and some flexible gasket sealant. The job is easy but make sure it is the problem in the first place. It's not urgent either, just keep it topped up. I waited a year before doing it, that is if you dont mind sitting in traffic with a load of people pointing at all that smoke coming out from beneath you bonnet.

Good Luck
