Hi,
This morning I had a message that said CHECK GAUGE. So I pulled over and opened the hood and out came all this smoke. I barely came home and am not quite sure what to do?

The smoke from under the hood if it had a sweet smell its coolant, check all fluid levels and see if any are low. Dont open the radiator cap when the engine is hot. If the coolant is low you will need to look for a leak possable water pump leak or hoses. Its best to use a pressure test to check the cooling system.

It could also be an alternator or a battery issue. Look at you voltage guage when its running. Voltage should be around 14.0
