your thermostat could be bad. your radiator fan may not work. you have a leak somewhere and it is spraying on the hot parts of the engine.

i own a repair shop,and it could be anything,,you need to look at it when its idling and see where the smoke is coming from on it,,its impossible for me to tell you anything from this point,there's a lot of things that can cause it to run hot,,thermostat or radiator,,find the smoke first,,then we might be able to give a better answer,,good luck with it,hope this help,s.,,have a good x-mas.

well stop and pop the hood is it smoke or antifreeze steam comming from a leaky radiator or hose conection...the modern aluminum and plastic rads tend to leak at the seams..if so you get a new one they don't fix them anymore
