The car smoked (under the hood) and then stopped smoking because the wire had burned through, but it was a hidden wire and I didn't notice it.

Probably not even close to your problem, but something I thought of.
Watch the video, coming right out the tailpipe. Looks a lot like what I am seeing as well. Mine sure doesn't smell like coolant. (that is rather distinctive.....) If it just smokes at startup, and not every time, chances are it is just valve seals.
