no smoke should come out from anywhere in engine bay or u looking at problems.
unless know personally some chemical got in there or traced some sort of it previously to void that claim

I know some spray WD40 on the bay after cleaning and that will cause it to smoke after a regular drive. Otherwise run.

Sure, nothing wrong with a smoke after a test drive. Some people even have a smoke after making love with their girl/boy friend. Probably not so good for your health, but, hey, its still a free country.
