My 2005 Dodge Stratus started smoking so bad, I thought the car was on fire. Came to a stop sign, pulled over and opened the hood. The engine area was smoking, pulled the spark plug boot and found a lot of oil in the well area. Car was running real rough

DETAILS! Oil on engine? Coolant leaking? Serpentine belt pulley locked up? Brake overheated and sticking? Wire harness fell down onto hot exhaust parts? Wire burning up? Sides of battery bulging out?
