Smoke from cat....

I noticed some smoke coming out of my cat the other day after only driving the car for about 15 min. Any ideas?

Check to see if there was any debris that got stuck to the cat. Is your check engine light on?

I changed my oil the other day... and added a new sending unit for my oil pres gauge, my stock unit was a little stripped but i got it to fit in with a T-connector it doesnt appear to be leaking now and i rinsed off all the oil that dripped out before. Maybe some oil is in my cat though - that was about 3 days ago didnt notice it until now though
