Check to see if there is a oil leak; place some newspaper under the engine over night. Make sure the oil plug and filter are tight.
Another possibility is that when the old oil was drained some of it dripped on the exhaust pipe or manifold. If this is the case, it will shortly burn off.

check to see if the oil filter is on tight and check the oil drain plug as it could be a little loose, don't hesitate on checking this as it could ruin your engine if either one of these items should fall off.
