while driving to work today I happenend to look down and see my oil light blink once. It took me another 15 min to get to work, then I popped the hood to check the oil then to my surprise a little cloud of smoke drifted away. I just changed the oil but I check it anyway. It was fine. It did smell like it was burning oil but I couldn't tell where it was coming from. Anyone have any suggestions.

there wasn't any leaks. I'll have to check under the car when I get off this afternoon. everything looked ok . I've been having injector problems but I dont believe that has anything to do with this.

Oil pressure sending unit? Did you double gasket the oil filter?
