Hello! I have little maintenance experience, so please bear with me.
Some background:
- 2012 Ford Fusion SE 4 Cylinders A 2.5L FI DOHC
~160k miles
- regular oil changes including one recently
- Serpentine belt shredded and was replaced a little over a year ago
Picture:
BLUF: White smoke near serpentine belt, burning smell, hesitant idle, AC stopped working.
Car had an intermittently hesitating idle with engine running and AC on cold with full fan. The AC started blowing cold air, I shut off the AC, and smelled what I initially thought was burning rubber (though I've heard coolant also has a strange smell.) I popped the hood and saw white smoke coming from near deep in the area of the serpentine belt. I shut off the engine and the car continued to smoke for a while until I dumped water on it and the smoke slowly waned.
Thoughts?

I deleted your picture because it was way too large and made the thread too hard to read. Reduce the size at least by half before reposting it.
It appears one of the belt driven components is freezing up, possibly the AC compressor.
