Default 'Splain this

Nothing to do with models but ever since I saw this on the news a week or so ago, I've been wondering...an airliner made an emergency landing due to smoke from one of the engines getting in the cockpit. How does smoke from an engine get into the cockpit with all the engines with which I am familiar being on the wings or the rear to middle of fuselage? And all the cockpits I know of are on the very front of the plane. How could it get there and why wouldn't it get in the passenger cabin too?

The good news was no one injured.
