could the percieved drivers side source of the odor be just because that is the side you exit from?
as the others stated - check the caliper. brake fluid smell is very different from oil smell, (or even burning plastic or rubber).
smoked brake fluid is very strong and persists on the surfaces it affects so sniff that caliper - you'll know. (also sniff after the clutch - if its slipping) if thats not it...
is the crank seal (harmonic balancer) leaking? this can throw oil onto the head pipe and smoke. also the valve cover or head can leak oil down onto the exhaust manifold as well. this is the "exiting whiff" i tolerated for two years before having the crank seal replaced.
