The Cat is pluged I think. Or maybe ur oil pan is leaking ?
If its coming from the passenger side I would say its the cat.

I found a good smoke maker for the passenger side to be a leaking oil metering pump. Sitting forward of the exhaust manifold and when the droplets of oil fall from the pump, the cooling fan will blow it right on the manifold. I wish I could say that is the problem on my SE but I think the real seal is leaking and when the oil makes it to the bottom of the engin, it gets blown rearward hitting the cat and down pipe. In this case, I get smoke rolling out from either side of the car.
