<x-flowed>Rhiannon=> I'm talking about the cooling fan for the motor.

OK, so what do you think is wrong with the fan? If your fan is out of 
balance or bent, it could be rubbing against the housing and causing 
something like a knock.

Also, people often confuse the fan and the crank pulley, which looks a 
lot like a fan.

On your smoke, I'm always cautious when new symptoms appear in the 
middle of another problem. I check myself to be sure that the new thing 
isn't due to something I did to address the old thing. A simple 
compression test will tell you if you're losing oil into a cylinder.

You haven't mentioned any loss of power -- does it feel the same when 
driving it?

Next: are you sure the smoke is coming out of the pipe and not from 
around the exhaust?
