just noticed some smoke coming off the exhaust from the downpipe. The tray looks damp under the car. Is this likely to be the sump gasket?

What engine is it.?.Also is it when the engine warms up that the leak starts.

Could be any one of the dozen or so common places an M20 leaks oil from, or it may even be hydraulic fluid.
You need to clean things up and get some idea of where the leak is.
