Hey Stump:
Seems a few years ago there were threads of the coolant mixing with the trammy fluid (automatic only) in the radiator, something about a bad coupler? Needless to say, not good for the transmission in terms of longevity, and there may have been a recall on it. Further, I am not sure if the problem was in the 05 or just the 03 or 04. At any rate, start there. I'd imagine a leaky head gasket would cause some smoke or you could at least smell the coolant burning against the hot engine. I know the water pumps go bad, but then again, there is also a pond that forms under the car when that happens.
Good luck,
BenR
