Is the smoke coming from the exhaust or from the engine compartment?
If it is coming from the engine compartment then is may be a leaky
radiator or hose.

Being due for an oil change would have nothing to do with smoke. You
shouldn't add oil unless it is low on the dipstick.

Take note of the oil level (on the dip stick) and the coolant level
(in the reservoir bottle.) Loss of either fluid could point to your
problem.
