There are a couple of well known issues that cause non terminal smoking; the most common is a failed AoS. This can be checked by simply starting the car and trying to remove the oil filler cap with it running: if it is very difficult to remove, the AoS has crapped out and can be replaced for a couple hundred bucks. It could also be a failed head gasket, also non terminal.

You need to get some facts before your wallet gets emptied or more damge is done………
