Default Engine smoke in reverse?

This week my 2001 XKR has emitted smoke near the drivers side front of the hood (bonnet) that smells somewhat like rubber only after I back into a parking space. There's no evidence of smoke while driving or idling. By the time I open the hood there's no smoke, engine on or off. Any ideas?

Found power steering pressure hose leaking. Guessing as I turned the wheels while in reverse, fluid squirted on the exhaust pipe.
