Air pump smoking?

After changing the water pump on my S4 i installed all the belts and fired her up.
Everything seemed fine until I started to smell smoke.
Started peeping around and noticed there was a steady stream of smoke coming from the air pump bolt. I have a picture to illustrate the problem.
Any ideas?

I don't see how an overtight belt would heat up the mounting bolt.
I asked if you touched it because it seems more likely that something dripped onto it and caused smoke rather than the bolt itself getting so hot it smoked (a condition I can't even imagine...).
Edit:
Does the air pump spin freely?
