Check you under the hood rubber seals and the two that the hood latch bar runs through, as well as the tubular cowl drains (3).  If those are not good, smoke can come through the heater box.

 

Also check the trunk seal, since fumes can get sucked in that way.

I have found that if your engine has a bit of blow by, a long stretch of overrun with a closed throttle and engine braking can push some blow by out the engine that doesn’t get drawn in as the throttle is shut. Definitely check you seals, elephant trunks etc but also have a look in your air cleaner for oil. I suspect that this wouldn’t be a problem with a stock air cleaner box rather than a smaller ‘performance’ filter (I am guessing your setup here).

Yea I think I found it burning oil on the exhaust manifold I’ll have to pressure wash it off see where it’s coming from .... but pretty oily under the manifold ...

This was gunna be my guess, likely a leaky valve cover gasket, or one of your manifold studs has backed out or wasn’t lock-tite’d properly. Several of the holes for the studs are open to the inside of the head/oil, and that’s enough for a small, or very large amount of oil to come out depending on how much it’s backed out/ not well sealed.
