I replaced my alternator 2 days ago. Today Im driving and the car starts smelling inside and a bunch of smoke behind me. I come to work and there is a puddle of oil that my car created! Im not sure exactly what is leaking yet. I'm pretty sure its not the valve cover gasket. Maybe anyone has had a problem like this and can tell me where its coming from before I take everything apart? Here is a video:

Thanks!
