Sounds like you have something leaking or the housing is broken. That is the only way it would smoke. If you are positive it is not hydraulic fluid leaking on something hot you should STOP driving it ASAP.

Also you should check the fluid level. Make sure it is Full.

I just got under the car as far as i could ( 1.6 lowerin springs) and saw that it sprayd the whole underside of my car and its a purple color fulid. I cant get under there far enough to see where its coming from... (need a lift to jack it up to low for a floor jack) but the weird thing is i just did this out of no where and that... it still act like its got fluid.....

Purple fluid? What type of transmission fluid did you use. Could it look black like burnt transmission fluid? Sounds like you have busted the housing if it sprayed the under side of the car.
