Im Beyond Pissed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF is happening, I was at a stop light and i noticed smoke pouring from my ride side of my hood, I decided it might be steam or soemhting so i went on about a mile and then i was at a stop sign and I noticed yet again that smoke was commin from same place!!! WTF is this BS.I got out in my drive way to investigate and it makes some nasty noise and smokes, but thing is I dont think its over heating cause the Temp gauge is at 200, which is normal.. PLEASE HELP PLEASE PLEASE!

What sort of noise??Check the compression, because it sounds like it could be a broken piston ring. They are quite noisy and you saying that it smells of oil made me think of that. This is usually caused by revving or running without oil....male drivers.. lol
Then again...it sounds like it could be a million things :-? It'* not showing any error codes? ARe you sure it'* smelling like oil? what'* your oil gague like>

Check your belts first for obvious wear. My guess is that some belt driven accessory, most likely the A/C compressor has tied up. DO NOT continue to drive it like this until you know what is wrong. If it is the compressor, you can unplug the wiring harness so the clutch doesn't keep trying to engage.

i still have no clue, Belts are ok, no oil leaks, nothing leaking, Smell is comming from my Alternator or under the altenator, So im not totaly sure as of yet, I'ma go take a look at it but the remnints of that Damned Hurricane just hit where I live, so its too windy and pouring rain.. ill just let it sit and wish for the Bonneville fairy to fix it over night!, maybe if I put the keys under my pillow , when I wake in the morning it will be fixed!!!! Anyone think this will work???

I actually use a mechanics stethoscope for the same thing. Works great. Just make sure when you put your ear to the handle, you're WATCHING the other end of the screwdirver carefully. If you aren't careful, WE WaNt PiCs!

Turn on your air conditioner if the sound goes away , it'* your pulley and clutch. As for the leak , it might not even be a leak are you actually leaking or just smoking?
