a little smoke

2009 c-300 Sport. After engine is warmed up, I open the hood, it has a hot smell, and a little smoke coming from the right side of the engine, from the bottom near the exhaust. Any ideas?

I did read the other thread about the oil leak from the cam cap.. I will check it out tomorrow. Not sure if it smells sweet. I can also check the ATF cooler line. Thanks

I did find the leak. It is the crankcase vent valve. Just wondering why this starts leaking. If it is a one way valve, maybe the valve gets plugged, then with a little back pressure it starts leaking. Anybody try to unplug this?
