Smoke from under the throttle body???
Okay, I was at the track this weekend, car was running good, real good. Made a pass, and I was pulling in to park my car I saw a pretty good amount of smoke come from under the hood. I opened the hood and the smoke was coming from under the throttle body. DIDNT smell like oil at all, kind of like burning plastic? I immediately shut the car off and pushed it to an empty space. Their it continued to smoke for atleast 5-7 minutes. Let it sit and cool for an hour, came back started it up and havent had any problems today which is the first time I ran it. Just curious if their is something I should check thats under the throttle body? I noticed that between the throttle body and elbow their was a little bit of oil that seeped out. My 7 is my daily driver so I need to be careful, any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you have your TB coolant passage removed but if not, check that. I suppose it could possibly be your clutch (i.e. "burning plastic"), but I'm not sure on that. Maybe your oil filter pedestal. Oil filler neck, oil pressure sender, oil-cooler line, heater core hose, fuel Line. There's really not much on that side that can smoke.
