Pulled up to a stop light and smoke was rolling from under the hood right down the road from my house. Pulled in shutdown immediately and lifted the hood. Something is smoking on the right rear cylinder head if you are standing in front of the car looking at it by the master cylinder. With what I heard took no risk of driving it and not being covered under warranty. Being towed to Lebanon Ford as I type this now. Hope it is nothing serious. Was time for oil change but didn't want it like this.

I'd bet it's an oil leak getting on the exhaust.
I can see something on the top of the cylinder head. Not sure how though everything else looks dry.

It doesn't take much oil to get smokey. The stuff that burnt off just from greasy mechanics hands was surprising.
