Under the starter? Where else?
What kind of smoke is it? Coolant smoke or something is burning smoke

yea there's nothing under the starter except the top of the bell housing

theres a tiny hole in the bottom of the starter tho...it looked burnt

i put a new starter in and still no go...

I THINK the longer it sits without being cranked....the harder it is to start..
