Help! What have I done.
My water pump bit the dust and threw the serpentine belt clean off. I replaced both and fired it up.
I was letting it warm up so I could add more fluid to the bottle when it started smoking. I chalked this up to water I spilled when blowing out my heater core.
Then the white smoke started billowing and it started making a horrible knocking sound. The smoke is coming from the right side near the exhaust manifold. The electric fan kicked on at 210 but I don't think the thermostat clicked over. It didnt drink any more coolant which struck me as odd. When I shut it off, the oil pressure is lower than I had ever seen it.

Oil on the dipstick looks normal
Started up fine, oil pressure good.
Still scared to drive it
