Default smoke problem?

I'm not sure how to explain this problem but I'll give it my best shot. My 67 camaro is pulling smoke in through the passenger side window when I hit the gas hard at around 65-75 MPH. It doesn't do this at all at lower speeds. It's a white'ish gray smoke and does not smell like exhuast and looks as if it is coming up from under the right front inner fender. Could this be from some of the wiring being too low in gauge or something else? If you have any ideas please enlighten me ty.

maybe there is an oil leak, try checkin valve cover gaskets, timing cover gaskets, or nything that can leak oils. if it is white smoke, then oil is being burned on the hot engine.

You may have too much oil in the crankcase, and when u rev the engine up the crank splashes the oil all over and some of it leaks out. Just a suggestion, but if it really happens, besides laking oil, you lose some power as the crank stirs up the oil.

It could also be coolant. check for a leak in the hoses and other spots of coolant leaking. I have experienced that with my cars before. good luck
