THE PLT STATED AS HE APPROACHED CORDOVA HE SMELLED & OBSERVED SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT. HE REDUCED POWER & COMMENCED A MODIFIED APPROACH TO RWY 9 WHICH WAS NEAREST HIS POSITION. WHEN HE ELECTED TO ADD POWER THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. THE PLT TURNED & LANDED ON A ROAD RATHER THEN TRY TO REACH THE RWY. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 40 DEG F & THE DEW POINT 34 DEG F. THE PLT WAS NOT CERTAIN HOW LONG THE ENG WAS THROTTLED BEFORE HE ADDED POWER & DID NOT RECALL IF HE APPLIED CARBURETOR HEAT WHEN HE TURNED TOWARD THE ARPT. THE OIL LINE TO THE INPUT SIDE OF THE OIL COOLER WAS FOUND WORN & LEAKING. IT HAD ALLOWED OIL TO ESCAPE & SPRAY THE ENG. THERE WERE STAINS ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOWING THAT BURNING OF SOME FLUID HAD TAKEN PLACE.
