what could be the problem? and is it drivable?

it depends on where the smoke was coming from. it could be a belt, it could be the radiator. was it a damp smell? was it dry. hard to tell what the problem is... need more info

Hey RLA,
Sounds like you might be overheating. What does the gauge/warning light say? Don't need to be a car person to open the hood and take a look. You can see fluid squirting in case their is a leak.

As for using the vehicle safety first. Without checking the vehicle you run the risk of fire and or major damage. Rent a car, pester a neighbor, just be safe.

good luck and let us know. :)

Well my dad look at it yesterday. they checked the belts. it appeard that there was no leaking or anything. He did however mention the brakes. I hadn't had my breaks checks for months. they ahd been sqeaking a little. But he notice the break pads were worn down./ Could that be a factor?

As far as the overheating. the gauge/ meter was normal.
coolant was fine, oil was fine, brakefluid was fine.

It was more of a rubbbery smell. Like something was burning.

I ended up driving the car home. w/ no smike coming from car after i parked and even after i came back to work this morning.

Could it be the brak pad that caused this?

Brakes are also a safety item that should be checked by a pro. Some shops will do this free of charge. I doubt if the smoke is related tho. Probably something splashed up on the exhaust and smoked if it is not continueing.

Good luck and let us know. :)
