oil or electrical...

should be able to tell by the smell.

If from under dash it sounds like something has shorted out and burnt the wire insulation. Check fuses, wiring etc

Sure your dipper was down properly?

On my old fiat bravo, it wouldnt seal properly so when driving it would smoke. Took ages to figure out what it was as the oil that would come out would burn on the exhaust manifold so you wouldnt really see it.
