Is your oil filler cap in place properly? You may need a good flashlight 
and some paper towel to check everywhere to see if there's a hose off or 
  just a bunch of oil dribbling off the suspension (below the cleverly 
concealed oil filter) onto the exhaust pipe. Check your coolant 
reservoir too, and the rad, per the Owner's manual.

PS. Drive your car to warm it up. The book says so.
