I was ready to say the coupling between the engine and the trans until that clue. Engine and trans at the same time?? no way. Flexplate break loose and cut the back of the oil pan? Was the smoke a transmission oil smell?
I hope this fix goes smooth and please keep us posted.

There was a hot smell of oil that I recall and the smoke was a lightish brown color and was fleeting, moving from left to right of this engine picture. Remember I was sitting in the drivers seat and it looked as though it came from the filter that sticks up on the left side of the long black header cover, but it could have come from the area near the rear.
