Burning smell and smoke :(

    I was driving today and I noticed the car was feeling a bit sluggish. I thought it was my imagination at first so I kind of ignored it. However, I noticed the car beginning to struggle on a slight hill and I was forced to go down in gears to compensate. Then all of a sudden there was smoke coming from out the sides of the bonnet and a burning smell.

    The oil seemed fine etc and there was no warning lights etc. The engine didn't cut out and it started up fine when I tested it a few mins later. So I let the engine cool down for a half hour or so then started it up again and was able to drive home without any issues.

    Any ideas what this could be. I should probably get it seen to. :(
