Smoke coming out from engine area

When I turned my engine on this morning, it was good but as soon as i drove for 2 miles I smelled a smokey coming from my car. Lifted my hood up and there was smoke coming out of the engine, it was white/gry (well somewhere from the engine) and it was one of those burning smells?

When the car is stoped and the car is on it does not somke or anything but only happens when car is driven.

possibly sounds like oil burning off on a hot part of the engine..have u recently spilt any oil in there or do u have any leaks? even a few drops on a manifold can really smell/smoke up untill it is burnt off..

other wise also an exhaust leak somewhere? ei. manifold,gaskets etc
