Is it smoke or is it steam that leaves a sickly-sweet taste in the back of
your throat? If it is steam, then there is a coolant leak somewhere,
possibly a leaking hose or the head gasket. If it is smoke, then oil may be
leaking on an exhaust part. In either case, have the car checked by a
competent technician to determine the source. The overheating may have
caused damage to the head or head gasket, or it could be something as simple
as a bad radiator cap or loose hose.
