Smoke under the hood help! this is my daily driver!!
the oil temp gauge got hot kinda fast, then it started going higher, so i pulled over and there was smoke coming from the drivers side of the engine. What could cause this? Water pump? Coolant hose? please tell me its not a problem with the engine itsself...

What does it smell like?
My experience with smoking engine bay was found to be broken lines on the OMP dumping oil that would find its way to the exhaust manifold and smoke like hell. Oil really stinks bad like a garbage fire. Also closely check your oil cooler those hoses are known too fail.
If it smells sweet its coolant, check your radiator, and all related hoses.

Its a hose coming out of the drivers side of the motor right underneath the oil filter and it goes to the center of the firewall (logicon?). The leak is right at the block

Ok, bringing up a finished story, BUT....
I just had the same problem. 5 minutes ago smoke started POURING from my engine bay... Seems to be pass. side maybe. I thought i could see some burnt on exh. mani cover once it stoped. See coolant underneath but no real visible source. Koyo Rad. is working fine and its not the main hoses...
HELP GUYS... pictures would be awesome!
