What does the smoke smell like? Have you checked your oil and what does that look like?

If it's coolant burning off it has almost a sickly sweet smell, whereas burned oil is kind of unmistakable. If your getting coolant into your oil it will look foamy and a dirty yellow color. If oil is getting into your coolant you will see the same thing, but in you radiator.
