I want to thank all of you who talked me off of the ledge! A number of you nailed the issue - My AC condenser is shot so when I was recharging freon leaked out all over the ground and radiator. The radiator was hot hence all the smoke. I was a bit intimidated but thanks to a great YouTube video taking the bumper off was straight forward. The AC recharge kit included a UV additive and light so it was pretty easy to spot the point of failure. Looks like I'm staying AC-less for now and I'm OK with that.

On a related note, good god there was a TON of crap stuck in there. I expected some debris but this was far beyond what I expected.
