ur prolly leaking some sort of oil from some sort of place.
as for the grinding your clutch might just need to be adjusted properly.

IF its white and smells like rubber then it might be the tires..

My guess is valve cover gaskets.

I bet it's your rear main seal!!! I had that problem on my stang when I built my motor and I forgot to put the rear main seal... It really smoked when I got on it. the Rear main seal is located at the back of the oil pan. Check it.

Since it only occured after the clutch change, the only seal you would have disturbed is the output shaft seal on the back of the tranny. Get your car up in the air and do a thorough check from front to back to help pinpoint the area.
