Why can't the mechanic FIL come to you if he's only 15-20min away?
Also, what is an engine leak? I'd love to hear that one in person!
No heat probably either means heater core, or water pump, or no coolant. Very vague on your details, but because of the rattle, I'd suspect your water pump first, even though you said no guages went off. Guages might be bad, it overheated and cooked up some oil residue in the engine causing your smoke... More details are needed. Smoke from where? Color? Smell? Rattle from where? Low coolant or oil before change?
A Seized water pump pulley could smoke the belt, and if cool enough ambient temp with short, easy drive may not overheat the engine also
