1998 Ford Windstar 3.8.A few problems.
1) drive belt keeps slipping off
2) smoking coming from under hood on side of engine where belt is, temp gauge not showing hot and smelling a bit like coolant
3) speedometer/odometer stopped working but all other gauges including RPM works
4)van wants to die when coming to a stop or slowing to turn. Not every time but a lot
5) right turn signal don't work and makes a funny noise if flipped up all the way but works and no noise if hold it just below the point where it stays on by itself

Remove the belt and see if there are any pullies are freezing. That can cause the belt issue. Have the vehicle speed sensor checked for the speedo problem. Finally, it sounds like the signal switch is going bad.
