One thing after another I aware.... Just got new timing and water pump done. Now I got a anifreeze smell and some smoke when I went to the store. Looking way down on the driver side by the motor mount, at the side of the block I see antifreeze dripping/bubbling out the side when the car is on and pressure is built up. Looks like my dang headgasket, Right?

Sounds like it. There are places that will diagnose a heating problem for you for about 20 bucks. Just go to a local garage.

There are several hoses back in that area as well that could leak and cause coolant to show up in that area. A pressure test to check for leaks would be good first step.
