I've been having problems with my car overheating. Tonight when I went to get gas, I turned off the car (it was under 210* almost normal) and I noticed smoke rolling from the front right side. There was also a strong smell of burnt oil/coolant. There is nothing leaking to the ground. I dont think it is the water pump, and I bought a new thermostat that I will hopefully install tomorrow. Anyone know what the heck is wrong?

did you recently change your oil and maybe spill a little?<b><a href=\"http://members.cox.net/95batmobile/d86f.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Sinister Six©</b></a><br /><a href=\"http://www.sounddomain.com/id/95batmobile\" target=\"_blank\">My \'95 Bird</a><br />I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.

Yeah, I had my oil changed a few days ago, but the smell has been there for some time now. If the waterpump went out, wouldnt it be leaking a little? Could all these problems be the thermostat? Another thing, could it be a clogged cat?1995 3.4L A4 Firebird White w/T-Tops *SOLD*<br />**NEW CAR**<br />2004 White Cavalier Coupe<br />2.2l ECOtec 5 speed

if you're smelling coolant AND oil... that's not too sweet. but maybe it's coolant leaking from a hose and onto a manifold where there is also a little oil.
another possibility is that it's spewing coolant when it overheats... my old IROC did that all the time before the motor swap.
