I looked at your post, and your profile. No indication what you have for a transmission.

If you have a stick, the smoke could have come from the clutch.

If you have an automatic, it could have overheated and spewed some fluid on the exhaust.

Other than that, something burned up under the hood.

Does the fan still run?
How about the accessory belt; still in good shape?
