Once the car gets to operating temp, a strong burning smell is comming from engine. Light black smoke is comming from muffler and lots of white burning smoke is comming from engine. It sort of is comming from behind the alternator down below. Can not track it completely. Any ideas?

Black smoke is fuel...running rich? White smoke is coolant...gotta leak...does it smell sweet in the engine bay or even a bit fishy? You can always get a pressure test on the cooling system to see if you have a leak somewhere. I think it runs $30-$50
