Ford Repair: ford engine smoking, valve cover gasket, aero star

Question
I have a 1995 ford aero star van and when i drive it the engine is smoking and the fan belt is making a bit of noise what is happening and how do i fix it

Answer
If the smoke is coming from under the hood look for either leaking coolant or a bad valve cover gasket.As far as the belt goes,the two problems may be related if the belt is wet.If it is not wet,replace the belt and or tensioner as needed.As far as you're valve cover gasket goes,try tightening,but not over tightening,the valve cover.The bolts will sometimes work their way loose.
