Hmm... You say the smoke is coming from the engine bay, and into the cabin via the vents?

Is your car turbo or N/A?

If so, I would have the car running, pop the hood and then use the throttle (from the engine) and rev the car and see if any smoke manifests itself in the engine bay...

There could be an external leak AND bad oil seals etc.

If the problem turns out to be bad oil seals, the only way to fix this is to tear the engine apart completely and rebuild it with new oil seals... Thing is, if the motor's apart you'll at least have to replace the coolant seals, and you might as well do a full rebuild.

Reading your description, are you saying you REV the car up hard (from a stop) and the LAUNCH the car? Therby making a noticable cloud of smoke when you dump the clutch?

Have you ever looked in your rear-view mirror and looked for smoke at WOT (wide-open throttle) when your just cruising?

Another way to check is to have a person follow behind you when you're driving and look for smoke coming from your exhaust.

Does the car smoke when you start it?
