Andrewg told me it's "smelling and smoking under the hood." I don't really know what that means, but I told him I'd post the problem for him, so someone tell him what's wrong now.

describe the smell, if its acidic and harsh its probably electrical, if it smells like burning oil...it probably is, if it smells really sweet and humid its antifreeze/coolant, if it smells kinda like burning rubber it could be belts slipping, or a hose that has fallen and is melting etc, if you ask extremely specific and detailed questions we (I) can help somewhat but it is very difficult to diagnose over the internet.

Take it to a shop. Doesn't sound like a problem that can be diagnosed easily over the internet.

he did tell me in pm's that his valve cover gasket was not on tight and had oil on it there, so that is what i expect the problem is
