Blowing two filters at 9000 rpms is going to dump a ton of oil thoughout the engine bay and chassis. You'll get oil dripping onto the header and exhaust pipe for a long time making some smoke and odours.

You mentioned 'oil filter bolts?? ' These are oil sprayer bolts inside the engine and won't be related to the problem you are having. Use this list to check the recalls on your car:

You cant do up the filter to 25NM by hand, trust me.
It is way tighter than you think,
I used a snap-on digital torque wrench when doing mine and it turns a fair bit past where I managed to get it hand tight, from below while on a ramp.
This is the tool I use, it only fits the S2000 specific large 15400-PCX-004 filter:
If you want one use the part number to buy one in the uk, or get one here :

I've had 2 dealers now offer me the smaller generic Honda filter, so make sure you get the PCX.
If the filter has no oil on it, then it might be oil residue burning off.
Where are you based?
