It depends on what color of smoke and how it smells. The question is somewhat vague. However, if the smoke is white it is due to burning oil. Black is from burning gasoline. If the smoke is coming from the exhaust pipe then you either have leaking valves or oil is blowing past the piston rings, both are significant problems. If the smoke is coming from under the hood the most likely issue would be leaking valve covers or a leaking PCV valve. Hope this helps, if not give some specifics on the smoke and I can better help you.

The smoke you see may be moisture/steam. The heater core is probably leaking engine coolant. If the "smoke" has a sweet smell to it, it's engine coolant. More info about the vehicle such as model and year would help.

Sorry to tell you but you have a blown head gasket, cracked head, or both. The white smoke is coolant entering the combustion chamber. STOP driving this vehicle or you will destroy the engine. You must have this repaired and it is not cheap.

Why does your car only blow heat when moving?

the smoke comes out the rear of the car in a pipe. the smoke comes out only when the engine is on. you do not have to be moving to have smoke come out. just the fact that the engine is on creates smoke due to the byproduct of the fuel and energy.
