Smoke coming from left rear of engine bay . Help

I have a 94 FD with about 41k miles on it.

I drive it twice a month for about 10 miles each time and it is in the garage most of the time.

Anyways, I was making some high rev runs today and smelt kinda burnt plastic smell. I hadn't run my car for about a month this time...Just sitting... It seemed to happen and this is a guess when I revved above 4500 or so.

I got home and noticed a little smoke coming from the hood. I popped it open and saw a little smoke puffing away in the rear left of the engine bay...

I also didn't notice any loss in power or boost.

My oil pressure for my oil seems to run around 0 or near the bottom when I'm idleing if that makes a difference, but it has always done that. And, i've been bad. I don't use my car too often, but i haven't changed the oil in over a year.

Anyone know what this could be?

help!
