If not, the only other thing down there could be fuel.
Does it smell like diesel?
And another note, the smoke does not increase with revs, if anything they reduce when revving but then build up when idling

It does smell a bit like diesel, but i don't understand why would smoke be coming out of fuel lines or oil lines?!
