Thank you. I went out to thr garage while the engine had cooled down and took a flashlight and followed the pattern of all of the belts and all seem to be tight and seated correctly. Tugged on them as well. I then decided to start the car and let it idle for a few moments while using the flashlight hoping to see where the smoke/smell issue is originating from but could not get it to repeat itself. didn't see any dripping oil as well. Valve covers seem tight. Oh well. Maybe it is just a break in issue. Stay tuned.

Foglights both functional.
