I took my lude for a drive and after a few hi-revs from 2-3-4th gear i noticed a little smoke coming under my hood. I check and it comes from the back side under the IM and there is no oil left in the motor.
Could i have any leak from a gasket and the smoke is actually the burning oil???

Whats the worst it could be.

its a h22a and the motor was full warmed up before i took it.

ps. I noticed a leaking from my engine a month ago and my mechanic told me that my oil temp sensor was coming loose and he replaced it.

could be oil presure sensor, head gasket, or even something as simple as a valve cover gasket. you just need to get under there and look.

who changed your oil last?

sounds to me like maybe your oil filter is leaking... probably around the seal, and dripping oil onto your exhaust piping... which would cause the smoke.

a lot of times, shops will just put the filter on, and not put a thin layer of oil around the filter's gasket (which helps it seal better) I've seen many filters leak because of this reason.
