Default *** Help! I'm getting an awful burnt oil type smell coming out of the engine bay.....

saw my radiator smoking a bit today after a car wash but that happens sometimes on a real cold day w/o that smell.... could it be my cat? or my radiator? any feedback would be great.

AFter a car wash? I'd wait a little, check it again. IMO, you don't have a problem. Check fluids to be sure, take it on a test drive, check it, let it cool off, check & test drive again.
