MO Smoking betweent engine and pumps

I've got a 91 n/a and it started smoking a little between my engine and the pumps, I.e. water, power steering pump etc. it's not the PD, already checked and there's no gas smell. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

A little more info.

What does it smell like? Coolant, oil, plastic?

When does it smoke? All the time or just when its warmed up?

Could be an oil leak. Coolant leak. Fan belt on a frozen component (Air pump, water pump, A/C)

Smells like burning metal, little bit of rubber. Starts smoking when it's warm after some driving.
