Hey guys,

2018 Kia stinger gt2.
Just joined forum to see if anyone could help with this issue. Her engine started smoking smelled like burnt rubber. Thought it was the belt but it’s not. It’s coming from driver side looks like right around the entry to the catalytic converter. I took a video but it doesn’t look like I can upload here, I attached a few screenshots from video.

She has had an ongoing oil leak, but I checked her oil level is at like 80%, oil was refilled beginning of January.

I appreciate any advice, what do you guys think? I’m thinking oil leak.

My guess would be valve cover gasket, or turbo oil line. Also it might be coolant line leaking, but the smell and color would be completely different from oil leak.
