Carbon Monoxide Leakage into Cabin?

Recently, I have been having problems with my 1989 560 SEL. There has been constant mild oil leakage from the valve seals of the car for the past month which causes a white emission from the exhaust after brief stops at red lights.

Today for some odd reason, I was exiting the freeway and the engine began to smoke very similar color white smoke which began to enter the cabin as well. After pulling over and popping the hood. I realized the smoke seems to be coming from under the engine near the cars insolation. (see picture - Note: Found pic online) I let the car rest for about half an hour while I ate lunch.

After lunch, I popped the hood and there appeared to be vaporized heat coming from the same area of the engine. On the way home there was an odd smell coming into the cabin, it didn't smell like burning oil or gasoline and gave me a headache after exiting the car. What could be going on here?

Thanks for your help in advance.
