I would like to say thank you to both of you for the help....The smoke appears about 10-15 seconds after starting the car and it smells like oil (as it smells almost like a burned rubber kind of, definitely no "sweet smell")

Just a little update, after letting the car sit overnight, I started the engine today morning and there was barely any smoke...which makes me think it is likely residual left over from a bad gasket. I just finished washing the engine at the self car wash with soap (i used low pressure for the most part but did blast with high pressure around the exhaust pipes. Im going to let the car sit for the rest of the day and see what happens when i start the engine tonight or maybe tomorrow morning.

Thanks again
