Well, it all depends on how you define a "water leak". First of all, is it coolant, or actual water? Second of all, is the vehicle four wheel drive or two? Third, if the truck has a 6 cyl, or 4 cyl. Now, if you have a two wheel drive with a 4 cyl, they have been known to blow head gaskets. If the truck is a 6 cyl, with 4x4 or 4x2, you may have leaking oil cooler lines. The previous alligations only count if you are leaking coolant. Now, regardless of the combination of drivetrains, if you are leaking water then it could either be the condensation from the air conditioning system (Normal), or you have a leak in your washer fluid reservior. Or, you may have a small leak in your exhaust system which can cause water due to condensation to leak out. Ultimately, have the Head Gasket, Cooling system, Washer Reservior and Exhaust System checked. Good Luck!

When your driver side of the engine is smoking what do it means?

It's difficult to say, without seeing where under the hood it's coming from. You could have a bad exhaust manifold gasket, leaking exhaust. You could have valve cover gaskets leaking or seeping oil, which would drain onto the hot exhaust manifold, and burn off... If you can provide more information on where the smoke is coming from, there may be a better answer.
