What does it smell like? Does it smell kinda like burnt honey or a foul smell like burnt oil, or a really destinct smell of burnt electronics.

They probablly spilled a little on the exhaust manifold cover or on the valve cover. It will eventually stop. But let the engine cool for a few hours and check the oil to make sure they didn't put too much oil in it and its blowing out.

White smoke from hood + nasty oil smell = bad oil leak in the engine somewhere

open up the hood and check for oil deposits on your engine.

About seven years ago I had a Beretta GTZ ( I know its not a Honda) I had a funny smell and smoke coming from the exhaust, and it ended up being the head gaskets. $1100 to get that sh#t fixed. Yeah I know Chevy-Honda, apples-oranges, but its something to check out. Hope this helps.
