Angry Oil or Anti-freeze?

Yesterday Im driving, and I notice smoke coming from the hood, so I stopped and looked. I saw smoke coming from the engine! I also notice a stench, like something burned, smells like it could be oil or coolant. After letting it cool, I drove 7 miles 3-4K R/MIN range, nothing wrong. This morning there was slight smoke and odor on the 7 mile return trip. I got an oil change 1031 miles ago. Even with these problems the D15 runs perfectly, but something is burning! What? I wanted a B16 swap, but this may nessesitate a quick ZC, FUCK SHIT DAMN ASS BITCH BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when my radiator hose blew off of the radiator, a bunch of coolant went on the engine, but the smoke didnt really smell like anything. This means that it probably wasnt coolant, but who knows..

I would say it's either the valve cover gasket leaking on the headers or the Head gasket leaking onto the block making it smoke and smell real bad. that's my only $0.02 on it.
