I pulled in front of my house and all of a sudden there was a big puff
of smoke from the driver side of the engine compartment, i just got
the oil changed today and the smoke sort of smelled like burnt
marshmallows or something, but i have a feeling thats not what it is

any ideas?

the smell is antifreeze, antifreeze has a sweet smell when its being burned
off on the hot engine, id check all hoses and if thats not it, check the
freeze plugs in the block

again a rabbit/squirrel/another animal might be stuck inside and burning,
check for pigeons too
