Smoke from the engine drivers side

I had the dealer replace the supercharger on my '13 and ever since then I see a little smoke coming out of the hood on the driver's side near the windshield. I'm smelling burnt oil in my vents too. I pulled the covers and can see the smoke coming from the back of the engine, but can't tell where it's coming from. Any ideas?

Rear main seal dripping on exhaust? Plastic bag stuck on exhaust? Valve cover leak dripping on exhaust?
Could they have disturbed another component? Do you have a catch can? If so, is it mounted on the firewall? Hoses solidly in place? When was it last emptied?

No catch can. It's bone stock.

Fixed. Fucking oil filter leaking. Just happened to start the same time the SC was replaced.

What type of filter you use out of curiosity? I recently changed to the new type WIX-XP "Designed for Full-Synthetic Oils" May just be marketing? Prior I was just using the standard WIX
The WIX-XP is what I have been using for the last year. Seems to be a good filter.
