did you forget to re-install the dip stick or the oil filler cap after the last oil change/check? also, did you just have an oil change or anything like that where oil may have poured onto the exhaust system? if none of the above, your valve covers are probably in need of new gaskets...:) also everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional manual available...in the reference section, you'll have to make copies of the important sections...good luck :)

Why is your punto engine smoking?
Many times the problem is a valve cover gasket(s) that has leaked oil onto the hot exhaust manifold underneath it. When you have stopped in traffic, or if you are on a hill, etc., the oil that has leaked has a chance to run down on the hot manifold and smells like rubber or oil burning. Most of the time this is just a nuisance but it should be repaired if is bad enough to the point you can smell it in your car or truck.
