This is likely in the category of really bad. Side of motor could be a leaking coolant line, exhaust pipe is likely a blown coolant seal. I suggest posting a few details like year, model, location, miles. Someone can likely recommend a shop close buy.

Sorry, and, um, welcome to the club.

you're lookin' at a minimum of $2500 and up to $4000 or more. Let us know where you are located and some forum member may be able to direct you to a qualified rotary mechanic in your area.
