Default smoking lex

Hey all, i have a question...

Im not able to get under my car until the weekend but possibly you all can help me. Im new to the forum and new to the car...i love it to death. Now recently i have noticed smoke coming from under tha car...it is coming from the catalytic converter...but i dont think its the converter smoking because it doesnt come out the tailpipe, the odor isnt smelled inside the car...and u only see the smoke when stopped, either at a light or parked...it doesnt smell like burnt oil, burnt coolant, burned brakes...i was wondering if it could be a bad rear main seal but does that drip on a converter? just wondering if u could lead me int he right direction for this assessment

while driving, if it's the rear main seal, it will undoubtedly get on the exhaust...

i should know...
