Urgent help!!!
My 2005 RRS 2.7 TDV6 has started to make a funny noise and smoking. After about 20 seconds of running the car, it sounds like an air lock or even a fart in the metal unit behind the windscreen washer fluid filler and power steering fluid reservoir (under the bonnet) and after driving a couple of miles this morning, when I stopped at a junction, it was smoking a bluish misty smoke from the same area. After switching the car off, it sounded like a fan speeding up (sounds like its gonna blow!!) and produces a constant bad smell, like a burning smell.
I am really worried and am scared to drive the car!
Any help is appreciated.

I'm no expert and I'm sure others will be along shortly, but from what you describe is it possible it could be the fuel burn heater FBH.

I wouldn't worry.

Sounds fairly normal.

The smoke should be coming out by the wheel.

They start when its cold ~5°C and below to help warm the engine up.

If they haven't been run in a while they will smoke.

If the smoke doesn't get less you can aways disconnect its large plug

The odd smell is normal
