Smoke but no smell

So today out of nowhere I was getting smoke from the back side of the motor, but it had no smell. It would come and go. What fluid has no smell when it leaks? I couldn't find any sign of fluid leaking.

You get transmission fluid on the exhaust? What ever happened with your speed sensor?

Transmission fluid usually smells when it burns. Whatever this is has no smell at all. As for the speed sensor, I replaced it and the car is running good at this time.

I would just SeaFoam to see if it's an exhaust leak. There's not really any fluids running over the rear exhaust manifold other than the rear valve cover (oil).

Take a light and look for burned fluid back there.
