Suspected that odor was due to exhaust leak, since Lizzie is burning oil. Upon closer examination under the hood, determined that smoke is coming from flywheel housing. On a 1275 engine, the flywheel housing has a "oil separator" attached, as part of the Crankcase Ventilation system. The smoke is not coming from where the oil separator is attached to the housing, but rather a block-off plate next to the oil separator.
Next step: determine if the block-off plate gasket can / need to be replaced. Also check operation of crankcase ventilation system. May need to clean oil separator and assorted hoses.
