Sounds like the timing belt tentioner took a dump.

Jay and everyone else,

The smoke isn't radiator fluid, though.  Well, I wouldn't stake my life on
that....  It's looks and smells more like the smoke you get from a burnout
it's just not as thick.  And from what I can tell, it's coming from the
timing belt or right around there.  Its curling out from beneath the timing
belt cover and it continued for probably twenty minutes after I turned the
car off so whatever is causing it is pretty hot.  From what I can tell from
the Helm's pictures there aren't any water connections around there.  The
water pump looks just fine.  Wouldn't I see some liquid some where around it
if it was going bad?  I've got 106,000 miles on it, so I need to do timing
belt, water pump, etc anyway but I was hoping to go 'til 120,000 or so.  Has
this ever happened to anyone?
Thanks, JB
