Need some help. So yesterday I went to the shop to get an engine oil change and a manual transmission oil change. Today I noticed a strange smell and looked under my car and part of the exhaust is smoking. Might have been a coincidence since I'm not sure how that that would be related to my transmission oil.

The car Is driving fine and a check engine light hasn't turned on yet.

It is Sunday so all the shops around me are closed. Can I still drive the car? What concerns should I have and is this related to my transmission or engine in any way?

I'm at my parents house right now and would need to drive back to my own apt an hour away for work during the week.

Is this something that can wait or do I need to get it checked ASAP?

I attached a picture. The center of the picture is where smoke is coming from, where the weaving part of the exhaust is. Looks to be only the right side. My car is also low so it may have hit something that caused a crack?

advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Perhaps oil spilled on the piping? Should burn off. No.reason you cant.drive it. It wont hurt anything. If it had a hole or has one you will definitely hear it.

 

Thank you! Smell went away in about a week or so.
